Grinnell College has pledged $55,000 to support critical safety upgrades in the Emergency Department at UnityPoint Health. Grinnell Regional Medical Center (GRMC) is enhancing safety measures to ensure the well-being of both patients and team members. Recognizing that the Emergency Department (ED) is a fast-paced environment where situations can change quickly, GRMC has introduced new initiatives designed to reduce risk and create a safer, more supportive space for care

Rudacille and kabir were among 40 students selected nationwide from 155 finalists from 41 partner schools to receive the $40,000 fellowship stipend from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation. The fellowship program offers “college graduates of unusual promise a year of purposeful, independent exploration and international travel to enhance their capacity for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and to foster their humane and effective participation in the world community.”

Three Grinnell College students are serving alongside the City of Grinnell’s Fire Department as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and firefighters—strengthening the connection between campus and community in meaningful ways.
