2023 Senior Class Gift! Join us in making a gift that goes directly to students!
This year's Senior Class Gift will go directly to a Grinnell Listening Project student training. Grinnell students will receive training through the Sustained Dialogue Institute, which works to train individuals in becoming facilitators of restorative conversations.
What is the Grinnell Listening Project?
It is a community-based initiative that aims to provide a space where Grinnell College students/faculty/staff and Grinnell community members can come together to engage in facilitated discussion. These discussions bring up important issues within the community and provide the opportunity to actively listen and learn from one another.
Why give to the 2023 Senior Class Gift?
- Your gift will go directly to student trainings, giving them tools to create meaningful change within the Grinnell community.
- You will be supporting your class of 2023, by contributing to a project we deeply care about.
- The gift that you make will create lasting ties between the College and the community.
Why is the Grinnell Listening Project important to us?
"The Grinnell Listening Project maters to me as it's a great way to foster strong ties between students and the community. Since we tend to feel like a secluded community on our own, many students don't realize what opportunities are available to them in town, including all the great college student discounts!" - Tara Rawlings '23
"Grinnell in general is a really small town, and if there's a divide between the college and the community it makes it hard for either side to support each other hence why it is important to have the Grinnell listening project to bring the gap between the college and the Grinnell community." - Tino Tazvitya '23
"I love the Grinnell Listening Project's commitment to dialogue and nuance in creating a safe space for diverse opinions! It's a meaningful step in the right direction to help community members understand each other in ways that are genuine and mutually fulfilling." - Shubhi Devrani '23
“The Grinnell Listening Project matters to me because it is a tangible way to enrich the Grinnell community through mutual understanding and compassion.” - George Kosinski '23
