Grinnell College Winter Parties
Grinnell winter parties bring together alumni and current students in cities across the country. Hosted by local alumni, these gatherings are an important and fun way to strengthen local Grinnell communities.
Each location’s winter party is a bit different—you might go ice-skating in one city, have brunch in an alum’s home somewhere else, or enjoy a beverage and appetizers at a pub. Wherever the location, you can escape the doldrums of January or February by attending your area’s winter party.
