A longtime Grinnell connection will have a lasting impact on the College through an estate gift from William Gruenwald ’42 and his wife, Joan. Their gift, expected to total $11 million, will support Grinnell’s endowment, providing resources that can benefit the College and its students for generations to come.
Abstract Expressionists: The Women brings together nearly 50 paintings by 32 women artists whose work helped shape one of the most influential movements in American art. On view through Jan. 2, 2027, the exhibition offers students, faculty, staff, area residents, and visitors an opportunity to encounter these works right here in Grinnell.
I’ve been able to have [Dong’s] class and then go into her research. She’s such a supportive, thoughtful professor. It’s a good example of how students are able to develop very supportive relationships with their professors here.
Grinnell definitely prepared me for my future in medicine … good studying habits, how to keep up with courseload, how to advocate for myself in the classroom, seek out professors, and how to work with people. All of those skills got really fine-tuned at Grinnell.
Sports have always been important to me. At Grinnell, basketball was a bigger part of my life than ever before. Basketball helped me maintain balance.
