Since 2002, the Grinnell College mini-grants program has supported community organizations with grants ranging from $1,000 to $7,500, for local initiatives to enhance the quality of life in our community by addressing issues of importance to the campus and community at large.

Five teams of students pitched social innovation solutions at the Spark Challenge in April, 2024. They competed for cash prizes and the opportunity to win an implementation grant for their community partner or campus partner. Funding for the program is offered by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.

Congratulations to Dayana Garcia ’26, Brian Goodell ’24, and Nathan Hoffman ’24! These three Wilson Center student employees have been recognized as outstanding student employees at Grinnell College.

To ensure that international students feel welcome in Grinnell and find opportunities to connect with the local community, the Grinnell Office of International Student Affairs offers the Friends of International Students program (FIS).

Nora Leahy ’24 arrived at Grinnell with her college life planned out to the T. Fortunately, none of her plans came true! With new passions and community, she explored new horizons.

The ceremony marked the culmination of hard work, dedication, and academic achievement by the graduates. 332 accomplished graduates marked the class of 2024's milestone.  

Your Grinnell student days may come to a close, but your quest for knowledge does not have to. To support alumni’s lifelong learning endeavors, the Grinnell College Libraries and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations are pleased to provide alumni with access to a range of academic databases.

*Please note the ceremony will now begin at 10:30 a.m. due to the weather.
