Grinnell College
When Grinnell College framed its charter in the Iowa Territory of the United States in 1846, it set forth a mission to educate its students "for the different professions and for the honorable discharge of the duties of life." The College pursues that mission by providing an education in the liberal arts through free inquiry and the open exchange of ideas. As a teaching and learning community, the College holds that knowledge is a good to be pursued both for its own sake and for the intellectual, moral, and physical well-being of individuals and of society at large. The College exists to provide a lively academic community of students and teachers of high scholarly qualifications from diverse social and cultural circumstances. The College aims to graduate individuals who can think clearly, who can speak and write persuasively and even eloquently, who can evaluate critically both their own and others' ideas, who can acquire new knowledge, and who are prepared in life and work to use their knowledge and their abilities to serve the common good.www.grinnell.edu

Our state, profoundly flawed, holds a dear spot in my heart.
Jim HoffmanHOST
I moved to Iowa to attend Grinnell College, which is located in a city of about 10,000 people on Interstate 80.
Jim HoffmanHOST
Surrounded by rural Polish County, I selected Grinnell College primarily for its academic attributes, but a substantial factor in my decision was its rural location, away from the more sought-after coastal places in the Northeast.
Jim HoffmanHOST
These locations had similar colleges but seemed to attract a wealthier, more exclusive population than in the Midwest.
Jim HoffmanHOST
I did not want my education to be divorced from a part of the country so often dismissed as flyover country.

I think at least starting at my time at Carver, I came from a very kind of a liberal and LGBTQ plus centric space at Grinnell College.
Cyrus BaratiHOST
And I knew kind of coming into Carver College of Medicine, maybe there wouldn't be as much of an emphasis just in everyone's daily lives regarding like the prevalence of the queer community But I really feel like I found a good group of people here, a good cohort.
Cyrus BaratiHOST
Karis, for example, you know, we're on the equal meds team.
