The Rosenfield Program sponsors study tours bringing students from various majors together. The study tours offer students a window into how the theme manifests itself in private, public, and non-governmental organizations. Bringing current students together with alumni, the tours create bonds across multiple generations of Grinnellians.
The Politics of Artificial Intelligence will be the theme of the Rosenfield Program 2024 spring break tour, co-sponsored by the Center for Careers, Life, and Service Government, Law, and Policy (GLP) Career Community. The tour will travel to Washington D.C., March 18–23, 2024; the first week of spring break. Students of all majors and class years are invited to apply.
