New Student Orientation: August 20-24, 2011
We are currently working on developing a comprehensive and intentional learning experience to help orient new students to the Grinnell community. Please click on the links at the left to see basic outlines of the schedules for students and families. New students and their families should arrange their travel plans so that they can check in to their residence hall between 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 20. Students will settle in to their rooms and visit several offices before the first student session at 2:00 p.m. There will also be various family orientation sessions and events planned for Saturday, August 20 and the morning of Sunday, August 21. Therefore, many families will depart campus after 4:00pm on Saturday, August 20, but some will choose to leave around 12:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 21 due to these additional activities planned for them. The first tutorial class (first-years only) is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday, August 21 and the first full day of classes is Thursday, August 25.
