John R.C. Ramsay Jr., Director of Student Activities and Organizations

Hi there. Thanks for visiting the Student Life pages. I’m John Ramsay, Director of Student Activities & Organizations. My responsibilities include the oversight of our student clubs, Interfraternity Council, and the Hampden-Sydney College Activities Committee. On any given day you might find me helping a freshman develop a new club to represent one of his personal interests, advising our fraternities on ways to have a great time while still being mindful of risk reduction practices, or booking a nationally acclaimed band for our two annual major CAC concerts; Homecoming and Greek Week…and that’s just for starters!

I loved Hampden-Sydney as a student and after spending several years finding my way in the “real world,” I’m thrilled to be back on campus to help our students develop the skills and gain the experience they’ll need to find their own ways after graduation. I stand by our slogan, “You can do anything with a degree from Hampden-Sydney,” and I take pride in empowering our gentlemen to prove they can do anything while still a student at Hampden-Sydney. Our ‘student-centric’ approach to education and extracurricular activities provides leadership opportunities galore for students from all walks of life.

So, go on! Have a thorough look at the H-SC Student Life pages. Make sure you have a chance to preview all the opportunities we have to offer you here. Whether you’re just beginning your college search, or already starting your senior year at The Hill, I encourage you to get in touch with me so we can find a place for you to leave an indelible mark in the history and traditions of our fine institution. Hope to see you soon!
