Hell all,
The Campus Safety & Security staff is attempting to locate a white male in his early 30s named Jason Chalmers, who has been reported to be loitering on campus recently, even though he has been issued a previous trespass notice to stay away from campus. Chalmers was last known to have short brown hair, is balding, has a large build, and is approximately 5' 7" inches tall. He has been known to be involved in local thefts. He may be riding a bicycle. If you see him on campus please contact Campus Safety & Security at 641-269-4600.

Locking your bicycles to the handrails at the steps leading to buildings
may be convenient for you, but it is downright dangerous for people who
need to use the handrails to negotiate the stairs. Similarly, leaving
bikes right at the bottom of the stairs and in front of doors also presents
a danger.
Please do not lock your bike to the handrails. Please lock your bike to
the bike racks only.
Thanks,

Hello all,
Tonight the city of Grinnell High School will be having their homecoming parade. The parade starts at 5:30pm. Please be aware that this afternoon the streets in the downtown area will probably start being blocked off for the parade. You may want to take an alternative route if you plan to travel in the downtown area late this afternoon and when going home from work.

Hello all,
As we begin a new academic year, I want to remind the campus community of Iowa's Smoke-Free Air Act. In compliance with Iowa law, Grinnell College is a smoke-free campus. Recent complaints, citations from the Grinnell Police Department, and a campus inspection from the Iowa Department of Public Health indicate smoking is occurring on College property.
While smoking is banned on College property, it is not banned on public "right-of-ways" owned by the city. Sidewalks on campus that line city streets, including the grassy area between the street and sidewalk, are public right-of-ways. Sidewalks along Park, East, and Broad Streets, and 6th, 8th, and 10th Avenues, are included. All other sidewalks and spaces are considered College property and must be smoke free.
The purpose of a public right-of-way is to provide access to the public. Individuals should not block pedestrian traffic and should avoid smoking in groups or busy areas where others may pass and possibly inhale secondhand smoke. Cigarettes must be extinguished before entering College property. Cigarette litter is the responsibility of the smoker, and should, after extinguishing, be properly disposed of in a trash receptacle.
Persons who choose to smoke on Grinnell's campus do so at their own risk and may face civil fines, as well as fines from the institution.
For those who wish to quit smoking tobacco, Quitline Iowa , a toll-free, statewide smoking cessation telephone counseling hotline, is available. Trained counselors provide callers with information about the health consequences of tobacco use, assistance in making an individualized quit plan, and ongoing support through optional follow-up calls.
Sincerely,
Stephen A. Briscoe
