Welcome to Forum:

Whatever happened to your first-year roommate? That brilliant lab partner?

Your senior crush? Finding classmates and old friends is easy on Forum, the College’s official online community for Grinnell alumni, faculty, staff, and students.

Forum (forum.grinnell.edu) replaces Loggia, the former alumni site, and mirrors the design of the College’s new website. But Forum brings much more than a new look — it brings new ways for you to socialize, intellectualize, and engage with other Grinnellians, as well as connect to campus and support your College.

As soon as you register as a Forum member, you gain access to Forum’s extensive features, including:

• The Forum directory, to find and connect with Grinnellians in your local area or around the world. 
• The events page, to see what’s happening in your neighborhood and get details about your upcoming reunion.
• Discussion groups, which you can join — or start — around any topics, from antique collecting to Zumba.  

Forum is designed to accommodate a growing amount of alumni-focused content and functionality, such as access to Project Muse, an online database of journals from nonprofit publishers, and JSTOR, which maintains a digital library of academic journals, books, and other sources; tools for volunteers; customized home pages; “friending”; and other engaging ways to keep Grinnellians everywhere connected. 

Because the Forum community is your community, your input is important. 

Please tell the Office of Development and Alumni Relations what you’d like to see on Forum and the office will consider adding your request to its to-do list (if it’s not there already!). 

Simply email the office at alumni@grinnell.edu.
