On Saturday, December 7th, we had our second Professor Dinner at EcoHouse. There were professors from a wide array of disciplines at the event in addition to music prof. Eric McIntyre’s young children (unfortunately religious studies prof. Tim Dobe was unable to bring his two “robust” sons)!
We enjoyed a dinner of spaghetti & meatballs, homemade bread, salad, and dessert. Following the dinner, several EcoHousers participated in an impromptu jam session to the delight of all involved. One got the feeling that some of the profs were transported back to their own college days free from the pressures of the scholar and teacher’s life.
We value making connections with Grinnell faculty outside of the classroom and similar academic settings. These sorts of connections foster not only long-lasting ties between individual students and professors, but also help build a strong Grinnell community prepared to respond to the current and impending challenges engendered by ecological degradation.
