Travel and Arrival Details

Please provide this information to help us plan for your arrival.
If your travel plans change, contact the OISA with updates! (Brenda Strong, strong@grinnell.edu)

- We recommend that you arrive on Monday, August 20, to allow for some relief of jet-lag before IPOP begins.
- If you will arrive on your own, please check in at the OISA (JRC, 3rd floor) between 8am and 5pm on August 20 or 21.
- If you plan to rent a car, make a reservation to do so at the airport in Des Moines. There are no car rental agencies in Grinnell.

This is helpful for us, even if you don't need help with airport transportation.

The shuttle fee is $30 per person, and will be billed directly to your student account.

Family and Friends

- It is your responsibility to arrange for your guest's lodging. www.grinnell.edu/admission/visit/accom
