i know there used to be one, because a fellow Carleton mom with a younger kid at Grinnell started it. Does it still exist?
Thanks!
Welcome! Yes, it does still exist – my DD graduated last year but I’m still on the email list. It’s been quite helpful over the years. I can’t remember how you subscribe, but I’ll try to find out for you.
To join the listserv go to : http://www.grinnell.edu/about/offices-services/college-services/resources and click on the family forum discussion listserv and it will give you the email link to join the list serve.
Thanks, @applemath and @grovesmom! I just sent an email to subscribe.
I found the Carleton list really helpful and am looking forward to being part of the Grinnell community.
Thanks I just subscribed too. We just came back from Admitted Students events and my daughter is hooked! We’re even canceling a trip to the East Coast to revisit a few other schools. Very excited for her – what a fabulous school!
I just got back from from a two night overnight haha. I defiantly know o made the right choice with grinnell.
Congrats to those who have decided on Grinnell. My son is a Freshman and is very happy there…happy with his decision!
@applemom and @grovesmom I sent an email to the faminfo list, but it appears to be a list for Grinnell employees to share information. Any ideas on finding the list for students’ families? Thanks!
@limner - I just spoke with the Development and Alumni Relations Office which maintains the parents’ list, and was told that parents aren’t added to the list until after children are enrolled. She said that you should watch the paperwork you receive for information regarding the parents’ list.
Thanks, @applemath, I appreciate the info!
FYI – we signed up for the parent forum via email and then my D enrolled in Grinnell last night. Today I got 2 messages from the list.
