To ensure that international students feel welcome in Grinnell and find opportunities to connect with the local community, the Grinnell Office of International Student Affairs offers the Friends of International Students program (FIS).

Five teams of students pitched social innovation solutions at the Spark Challenge in April, 2024. They competed for cash prizes and the opportunity to win an implementation grant for their community partner or campus partner. Funding for the program is offered by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.

Congratulations to Dayana Garcia ’26, Brian Goodell ’24, and Nathan Hoffman ’24! These three Wilson Center student employees have been recognized as outstanding student employees at Grinnell College.

Nora Leahy ’24 arrived at Grinnell with her college life planned out to the T. Fortunately, none of her plans came true! With new passions and community, she explored new horizons.

The ceremony marked the culmination of hard work, dedication, and academic achievement by the graduates. 332 accomplished graduates marked the class of 2024's milestone.  

Valery Lopez '24, Daniel Rosenbloom ’23, and Kendall Yim ’24—were awarded Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants to teach English abroad for the 2024–2025 academic year from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.

Your Grinnell student days may come to a close, but your quest for knowledge does not have to. To support alumni’s lifelong learning endeavors, the Grinnell College Libraries and the Office of Development and Alumni Relations are pleased to provide alumni with access to a range of academic databases.

The center will expand co-curricular affinity offerings by serving as a place for Latinx/e students, faculty, and staff to gather, celebrate culture, and feel a sense of belonging on campus.

*Please note the ceremony will now begin at 10:30 a.m. due to the weather.
