I am writing today to share that Andy Hamilton ’85 will step down as Director of Athletics and Recreation on Dec. 23, 2022. After a sabbatical, he will return to the faculty as associate professor of physical education, where he teaches a tutorial on Black Athletes and other courses focused on sport sociology, sport journalism, and organization and administration of athletics.
Grinnell College has learned that there is a statement circulating on social media regarding an alleged crime on October 8, 2022 in the parking lot near the Bear Athletics and Recreation Center. There are inaccuracies in this statement that are important to address because the circulation of misinformation has caused fear among members of our community. If anyone is aware of any alleged crimes, we continue to ask that they be reported and that available resources are activated instead of using social media. The purpose of this message is to address misinformation circulating on social media.
Grinnell College is partnering with the City of Grinnell and the Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office to offer a $2,000 reward for information leading to charges being filed against those responsible for acts of racially-based harassment and vandalism in Poweshiek County.
We call on the citizens of Grinnell to mobilize against the acts of racist harassment that continue to happen in the city of Grinnell and the campus of Grinnell College.
