Working Reunion is so much fun! The alumni that make the trek back to campus are always interesting. They love to tell their tales of "old Grinnell" and find out what current students are up to. Reunion is all about a fun, relaxing time on campus for alumni to reconnect with old friends and connect with new ones, including current students. Getting to know alums during Reunion is a rewarding experience. Grinnell couldn't create an easier or more relaxed atmosphere to meet and network with alumni [than Reunion] if it tried.
