In Conversation Tour 2024-25

Save the date and plan to join us for a special opportunity to reconnect and to meet with Grinnell College leadership while learning from alumni and faculty experts. Join us for an exciting event reconnecting with fellow Grinnellians and hear from local alumni in conversation with President Anne F. Harris and/or members of the Grinnell College senior leadership team. These events and the dialogues they inspire will be glimpses into the minds and hearts of the people who comprise Grinnell: a collection of their thoughts about the things that matter to them and which make Grinnell College more relevant than ever in equipping students to be agents of social change in the world.
