Grinnell College Reunion
Golden and 50th Fall Reunion Postponed
Our decisions during the pandemic have focused on community health conditions and projections; the safety and well-being of our campus and alumni community continues to be our highest priority. We eagerly anticipated the opportunity to be together this fall at the Golden and 50th Reunion Weekend but the surge of the Delta variant has changed the circumstances around our gathering.
Class reunion committees, College leadership, and Development and Alumni Relations staff discussed creative ways to proceed, but ultimately, we have decided to postpone the Reunion planned for late October given the limitations involved with our event policies. We are deeply disappointed to miss the opportunity to gather, but know this measure supports and protects our campus, local, and alumni community health until the point when we can safely gather.
Communications will be sent to individual classes regarding a postponed opportunity to gather on campus.
We very much wish the situation were different and all look forward to being together on the Grinnell campus. Until then, take very good care of yourselves and your loved ones. And remember that you are always—even at a distance—an essential member of the Grinnell community.
Be in touch with any questions or concerns.
My best,
Jayn Bailey Chaney ’05
