Student-Run Bike Share

Hop on a bright yellow bike and explore Beloit - for free

A student I.D. is all it takes to check out a bike and go for a spin around Beloit.

Thanks to a partnership between students, Beloit’s Powerhouse equipment operation, and a group of generous alumni who are providing support and encouragement, students can rent one of a fleet of bright yellow bikes called Sinnissippi Cruisers.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Celebrating 100 Years in the Midwest Conference

A charter member of the Midwest Conference, Beloit College has been affiliated with the league since 1921. In honor of the MWC’s centennial celebration, Buccaneer athletics shares its storied history with one of the top liberal arts conferences in the nation.

From Gold to Blue Devils to Buccaneers, athletics at Beloit has been distinguished by different colors, nicknames, and mascots over the years. Since Beloit’s debut on the football field in 1889 to today, one thing has withstood the test of time, gold.

Beloit alums Ron Bontemps (left) and Johnny Orr (right) were members of multiple Midwest Conference championship squads. Bontemps captained the 1952 United States Olympic medal team. Orr became head coach at University of Massachusetts, Michigan and Iowa State.

connecting our community

The food on our table

We hail from all over the globe. And while some of us haven’t been able to make it back to campus, we’re still a community. This fall the Office of International Education launched a series of crowd-sourced stories and photos of the Beloit experience, no matter where we rest our heads.

Students have shared their work spaces, what voting looks like around the world, their pets, and what always brings us together: FOOD!
