Alumni Virtual Events

The Office of Development and Alumni Relations collaborates with alumni, regional network planning committees, students, parents, and friends to host virtual events for the Grinnell community. As with all events hosted by our office, our goal is to gather Grinnellians together for fun, learning, and a shared sense of community.

The format of the events below may vary depending on the content and purpose of the event. Every event will list the technology platform being used (Cisco webex, Zoom, etc.) and we encourage you to download that platform in advance of the event.

Also, in these uncertain times, events may need to be postponed or adapted if a host becomes ill or if circumstances change. We appreciate your flexibility as we work through these things together.

'00–'09: Cocktails 101 Mixology Class

Have you always wanted to learn how to make classic and fun cocktails at home? Maybe you miss seing your Grinnell classmates? If so, join us for a live virtual mixology class hosted by professional mixologist and bartender Rachel Miller '06 and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations.

In the class we will dive into the history of cocktails in America, with an overview of technique and tools, review recipes for a dozen classic cocktails, and will participate in a detailed demonstration to make a Manhattan and a Pegu Club together.

Participants will be provided the recipes and ingredients lists if you wish to mix and drink along or you are welcome to just watch and ask questions!

Of course, this is a great opportunity to connect with your fellow Grinnellians during the event as well!
