Grinnellian Adventures

Connect with Grinnell College faculty and other Grinnellians through the Grinnellian Adventures travel program. With faculty leads, highly skilled tour directors, and local guides, you will be engaged in the kind of intellectual excitement and inquiry you experienced as a student. Share adventures with Grinnellians, their families, and friends, while enjoying behind-the-scenes visits that are impossible for individual travelers to arrange on their own. An added bonus is that you can relax while all your trip arrangements are made for you!

Questions may be directed to Guinevere Natarelli, associate director of alumni and donor relations, at wallacegu@grinnell.edu or 641-269-4633.
