"The Wilson grant gave me the first opportunity to return home to Miami and think about the city and the built environment - so it's exciting to return six years later through the connections I made when I was an undergrad at Grinnell. So though I've taken the academic road, I'm eternally grateful for the Wilson Grant." - Fredo Rivera '06

Detroit Social Innovation Project- Internship Opportunities by Elizabeth Miller '10 Miller writes, "In its current state of economic uncertainty, Detroit faces many social and economic problems. However, within each of these challenges lies opportunity to revitalize Detroit and create new, innovative solutions to old problems. Rather than simply treating symptoms of urban decay, the uncertainty of the current situation allows for a pioneering system of urban social justice."
