For nearly four decades, the Scholars’ Convocation series has created a common educational experience shared by the entire Grinnell College community. Established in the late 1970s in response to the College’s move to an open curriculum, the accessible interdisciplinary nature of convocation offers an intellectual encounter that transcends disciplinary boundaries.
Scholars’ Convocations are arranged by a faculty committee. If you are planning or are interested in planning a Scholars’ Convocation, please see Scholars’ Convocation Proposals.
All convocations are in person from 11 a.m.–noon in Rosenfield Center (JRC) Room 101 unless otherwise noted. Select convocations will also be available via Webex. Links will be available in the Campus Memo and in the announcement in GrinnellShare (login required).
