Success Stories

  1. Professor Eckhart and student at CERA

    Where the sciences are headed with research is exactly what’s embedded into classes at Grinnell. It starts from the very beginning with Intro to Biology, and continues as two or three authentic research projects for every class after that.

    Research is a huge component in the arts. It's what you perform, it's what you study, it's what you create scripts based upon. It’s what leads you to stages and shows well beyond Grinnell.

  3. Lana Katai

    I love that I go to a college where the only thing people care about is the quality of the character and the things that I bring to the table, not what I'm wearing, or how I sound, or how I look. At Grinnell, I feel free to be who I am.

  4. Mithila Iyer

    Grinnell was really the first place where I actually had the chance, or the self-awareness, to pursue something that was a little bit out of my comfort zone.

  5. Nathan Calvin

    I would definitely credit that experience with helping me to have a persuasive application and making me want to do this type of work.

  6. Kaydi-Ann Newsome ’14 talking to another person while pointing at their laptop

    We went through the fire, went through the ice, and I learned how to come out stronger. I’m a resilient Grinnellian.
