Beloiters have always been all in for students and alumni. Now it’s time for all of us to be all in for Beloit. Give now to honor a Beloiter who changed your life.
Here’s why your fellow Beloiters are all in, too.
Laurence Pimentel’67
Government & English Composition
Dr. Feder inspired a lifelong interest in politics and American political history in me. Since graduating from Beloit in 1967, I have worked with many organizations dedicated to civil rights, public education, health care reform, and separation of church and state. Dr. Feder’s excellent lectures spurred me to read all I could about these issues and get involved!

Psychology
Professor Ron Watson guided my Honors Term Project, which focused on the intersection between Rock County’s rate of sexually transmitted infections and the opioid epidemic. He pushed me to collaborate with community organizations, collect ethnographies and use my findings to inform the work of the Beloit Public Health Initiative.
Maddie Ipsen’17
Psychology
Suzanne Cox and Kristin Bonnie were two of my professors in the psychology department. I don’t think I would be where I am in my career as a therapist without their guidance and support. They challenged me to improve as a student while supporting me each step of the way.
Bob DiLeonardi’81
English Composition & Psychology
Professor Tom McBride inspired me to appreciate the power of good writing. Thanks to his help I learned to write well, a skill that opened the doors to a variety of interesting opportunities over the years. I still use every day the basic writing and analysis skills I learned from Professor McBride 40 years ago.
Lois More Overbeck’66
English Literature
I had an advanced class with Professor Marion Stocking my freshman year. After graduate school and a few decades of life and family, we met again in her retirement haven in Maine. She also visited my office at Emory University to see the legacy her own teaching, editing experience, and friendship had influenced: The Letters of Samuel Beckett, which I was co-editing for Cambridge University Press.
A professor, a roommate, a mentor — who made your Beloit experience special? We’d love to hear about them.
