Grinnell should launch a climate major

We’re at a dire moment: for the first time, global temperatures passed 1.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels in 2024. With Trump’s inauguration, White House policy once again holds that climate change does not exist. We’re unlikely to see any progressive climate action at the federal level for the next four years — instead, we’re seeing a horrifying regression. This absence of federal climate leadership leaves a gap that educational insti…Read Article

“Unarmed, carrying the weight of skin”: Across color lines, three women bring racial dialogue to Grinnell

When Heather Lobban-Viravong, a young black woman, moved from New York to Iowa for a one-year fellowship for minority scholars at Grinnell College, she was matched with Jan Gross, a white tenured professor of French. Their meeting 25 years ago and the friendship that grew across racial difference is the subject of “More Than Skin Deep,” a two-hour play that sparked lively discussion Monday night at the Grinnell Middle School auditorium. What beg…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Nearly all Grinnell property owners own just one property, yet 15 owners control 15 percent of the city

As over 50,000 low-income renters across Iowa search for affordable housing, a quiet concentration of property ownership is reshaping Grinnell, a town of fewer than 10,000 residents. An analysis by The Scarlet & Black reveals that just 30 property owners—a mix of corporations, nonprofits and individual investors—collectively hold nearly 18 percent of Grinnell’s residential properties. These 30 entities own 662 of the town’s 3,417 parcels, accord…Property · Grinnell Read Article

Alex Carlon, Media and Communications Editor

Being the social media coordinator for The Scarlet & Black these last two years has felt a lot like being “Gossip Girl.” Hear me out — I’m anonymous, have sources all over town, and can send messages to the whole school with the press of a “post” button. XOXO! I’m kidding — I could never write one-liners that sharp. But running S&B socials has given me a unique front-row seat to the good, the bad and the chaotic of student discourse. Monitoring …Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Agatha Fusco, Staff Writer

I haven’t worked for The Scarlet & Black for very long, but in the time that I have, I’ve connected with Grinnell — the college and the town — in ways that are entirely different from those that characterized my seven other semesters as a student. Some of the opportunities I’ve had to connect with people of Grinnell College could certainly be described as mundane: casual interviews about topics like the weather, admissions statistics, and small…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Charlotte Krone, Editor in Chief

I am Sage & Blunt!!! It’s me! The mysterious, bespectacled brunette advice writer who’s been answering your letters for three years? It’s me!! If anyone was wondering. I never, ever thought I would end up as editor in chief when I applied to work as a contributing advice columnist for The S&B my second year. I just loved writing, and I wanted experience writing creatively for an audience and working closely with other writers. Also, the prospec…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Nora Kohnhorst, Editor in Chief

I didn’t begin working for The S&B out of a love for writing or because I wanted to pursue ‘the news.’ Two years ago, I applied to work as a copy editor mostly because I just wanted to read and get paid for it. I didn’t really know anything about the paper, and it felt like a shot in the dark. I think I may have even accidentally submitted my application late? Regardless, I somehow got hired, and Sam Bates `24 generously and patiently taught me …Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Owen Barbato, Visuals Editor

When I submitted both a photographer and staff writer application to The Scarlet & Black before my second year at Grinnell, I was certain that I would be accepted as a writer and rejected as a photographer. Whether due to a lack of photographers on The S&B’s part or writing skills on mine, the outcome completely flipped my expectations. Despite being arguably more interested in taking photos, I had no experience with journalistic photography and…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article

Mending the social fabric: Community spotlight on the Grinnell Organizing Collective

On the evening of Wednesday, April 23, members of the Grinnell Organizing Collective met in the basement of the United Church of Christ. They gathered around a folding table spread with a white tablecloth, knitting needles in hand, notebooks out and ideas flowing. The collective was founded after the November 2024 election in response to Donald Trump’s victory. “It was literally Liz [Rodrigues] and I, and a handful of our friends, sitting in c…Grinnell · Grinnell Read Article
