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.

Grinnell-in-Philadelphia: Lunch & Discuss

Thursday, April 8, 2021 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM


Grinnell-in-Philadelphia: Lunch & Discuss

Did you love the great conversations you would have at Grinnell? Do you still enjoy diving in and learning more about a topic? If so, grab your lunch and join your fellow greater-Philadelphia-area Grinnellians for a monthly virtual "Lunch & Discuss" session. Every second Thursday of the month at noon, gather with local Grinnellians on Zoom to discuss a topic chosen by that session's alumni host. A few days before the lunch, the host will email the links of a few related articles for the group to read in advance of the conversation. The host and topic changes for each session so there is always something new to learn and talk about!

12-1 p.m. EDT

Guns in America
Host: Harvey Leff '80

The recent mass shootings in Atlanta, GA and in Boulder, CO remind us all that even during a pandemic, deadly gun violence is an ever-present part of American life. In this discussion we will discuss the complexities surrounding gun violence, assess the unique role guns play in the United States versus other countries, and talk about the realities surrounding gun legislation.
