Regional Networks
Grinnell Regional Networks are vibrant alumni communities that bring the spirit of Grinnell closer to home. Led by dedicated volunteers, these networks link Grinnellians within specific geographic regions, creating meaningful opportunities for engagement with one another and the College. Our thriving regional networks:
- Connect alums locally through social, cultural, and educational events.
- Support students and young graduates by providing mentorship and career connections.
- Strengthen community through service projects and volunteer opportunities.
- Celebrate shared pride in Grinnell’s values and traditions.
