*Updated July 28* Since the health and wellness of every Grinnell College student is of the utmost importance, the College has several health compliance requirements that all incoming first year students are required to meet.

Our revised residency model for the 2020-21 academic year is built around class years and implications for many areas of our program.

The first time I served meals for Grinnell College Students was on a dreary Saturday morning in April. My colleagues from the College’s Center for Careers, Life, and Service (CLS) and I delivered over 240 meals on that deserted and lonely campus. In my experience of uncertainty and change while navigating Grinnell, I was mesmerized by the new realities of an unknown world.

Fall Term 1 classes will be offered remotely and the arrival of first-year and transfer students will be delayed in an effort to further limit the number of students on campus.

Auditions for the Grinnell Singers will take place Aug. 26–28.

At this time, we are going to pause on sending additional invitations to study and live on campus for the second fall term (F2), scheduled to begin Oct. 22. We will remain paused until we can better understand the repercussions of these rapidly changing circumstances and new public health guidance.
