Our Mission

We advance our mission by embracing the mission, vision and core values of Grinnell College.
Directions to Campus
Directions and travel to the Grinnell Campus. The Career Development office is located at 1127 Park Street, on the southwest side of campus. We are one building north of Nollen House and two buildings north of the John Chrystal Center.
Statement of Responsibility
Employment and internship opportunities are the responsibility of the student and are not guaranteed or implied by the Career Development Office, the College or the employing organizations.
Scheduling Expectations
Students who register for events and appointments are expected to be present. If you miss one of the above, without notifying the CDO, you will be considered a “no-show”. You will be contacted via e-mail by the Career Development Office (CDO) and your access to that particular service will be suspended until you provide a written explanation. Arrive on time for your appointment. Students who arrive over 15 minutes late for an appointment will be asked to reschedule. Please provide at least 24 hour advance notice of cancellation, if possible.
Should you miss a scheduled interview, you will be expected to write a formal letter of explanation to the employer with a copy given to the CDO, as your behavior of not showing for an interview reflects negatively on yourself, Grinnell College, and the student body.
