Grinnell and Me

I've spent about 40% of my career in academia
I have fond memories and funny stories from the University of Michigan, Carnegie Mellon University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Deep Springs College, and Ohio State University.
But my longest running academic allegience is with my alma mater, Grinnell College. Life has repeatedly and happily brought me "back to old Grinnell."
In addition to various reunions, committee meetings, an alumni award, and a magazine profile, here are the bigger things to bring me to Grinnell.
