Grinnell College

Welcome

Letter from the Grinnell Quest Liaison

Hey Grinnell Questies!

My name is Megan Konzelman. I am the Quest Liaison for Grinnell College. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and I am so excited for this year! The Class of 2016 includes Grinnell’s first-ever Quest Scholars, so our chapter is just getting started. We’ve got so much to do and learn, but I’m stoked for this first year, because it’s going to be a blast!

Grinnell is such a great school. Its mission as a liberal arts college is to promote “free inquiry and the open exchange of ideas.” That, coupled with Grinnell’s community-oriented service, creates an environment that encourages us while we encourage others. The professors are there for you, and you aren’t going to be swallowed into a sea of faces in a giant lecture hall. That’s what I loved about Grinnell: the size. It may be small, but the benefits are huge.

On that note, I look forward to a great school year and getting to know all of my fellow Scholars! I’m sure there will be plenty of fun events , get-togethers, and probably a few movie nights scattered throughout. You’ll all receive regular emails from me. My hope for this year is that we really develop as a community of Scholars, and help each other get settled at Grinnell.

So here’s to us, the first Questies of Grinnell College. This is going to be great!
