Grinnell’s admission staff is hoping to capitalize on the power of social media by communicating with prospective and admitted students through ZeeMee, a social media app designed for college admission.
Join us in celebrating and congratulating Professors Erickson, Harrison, Praitis, and Willis on these well-deserved honors, and in thanking the donors whose generosity continues to shape the intellectual life of Grinnell College. This formal celebration of faculty distinction on Thursday, February 5.
For Jeff Smith, basketball in Grinnell has never just been about the game—it’s been about family, community, and the places that shape you long before you realize it.

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.
