For Employees

Over the past many years, Grinnell has made great progress in providing an accessible and supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff. Each of us has a role in continuing that improvement, and many of us have benefited from them as well.

The ADA Coordinator and Assistant Dean for Disability Resources, Autumn Wilke, is responsible for employee accommodations at Grinnell. Grinnell is an equal opportunity employer.
