Whether it's a student learning to use a woodworking tool, neighbors gathering for a painting class, or someone picking up knitting needles for the first time, the STEW offers something for everyone.
Operated by the Grinnell Area Arts Council (GAAC) in partnership with Grinnell College's Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership, the STEW has grown into a creative hub where people of different ages, backgrounds, and experiences come together.
On Friday, Oct. 30, Tommy Hexter ’21 returned to campus for a Coffee with the College conversation with Peter Jacobson, professor of biology and chair of the Environmental Studies Department. Together, they explored how Grinnell College can continue connecting students with Iowa’s farmers, agricultural communities, and natural landscapes through hands-on learning, research, and community partnerships.
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.
