In Their Own Words
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.
One of the things I have always loved about working in museums is there is no 'typical' day. … I am always learning about upcoming exhibitions and artists in our collection of more than 9,000 objects.
