Last Minute Gift Idea

Time is running out on the holiday shopping season.  If you’re feeling a last minute pinch, consider a unique gift, one that entertains and educates. Give the gift of a membership to the Friends of Ramapo College.   

The Friends of Ramapo is an organization founded to expand communications and foster greater understanding between the campus of Ramapo College and neighboring communities.  With more than 225 members, the Friends draw from communities neighboring Ramapo College. 

Members of Friends of Ramapo can take advantage of Ramapo College's facilities such as use of the library as well as enjoy cultural programs hosted by the various schools and through discounts on select programs at the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for the Performing Arts. All members receive a parking pass, the Ramapo College magazine. Members also have the privilege of purchasing an additional membership to the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center to use its fitness center, swimming pool, and more.
