Grinnell College has created a system of color-coded levels to communicate what our core activities look like on campus depending on community health conditions on campus, in town, and in our region. You can find more information about what each level means below, including links to other areas of Grinnell’s web site.
Along with expert advice from our public health team, we are reviewing a number of factors to determine campus and institutional activity levels. We are considering each of these factors independently and in relation to each other as conditions change, creating a holistic assessment of our community health environment. The factors we are considering are:
- Campus community health conditions
- Grinnell community and regional health conditions, including the latest test positivity rates in the City of Grinnell and region and the state of the area health care system
- Latest guidance from public health experts, including the Iowa Department of Public Health and the CDC
Please reach out to specific departments and offices if you have questions about their operations at a particular campus activity level. Interested in planning an event? Submit your request to the Proposal Review Committee. The committee meets each Monday at 11:00 a.m. Please submit proposals as early as possible prior to your event.
All information on this page and linked pages reflects the latest information about our community health conditions and is subject to change as new information becomes available. Updated January 2022.
