The College holds in deep regard that community health means protecting the health of the many people in our community: students, staff, faculty, and the broader Grinnell community that the College calls home.

Grinnell College will host an in-person, outdoor commencement ceremony for graduating seniors on Friday, May 28, 2021, at 10 a.m. In light of current and projected community health conditions, we will not be able to invite families or guests including faculty, staff, and first-year through third-year students to attend this year's commencement.
