Every Monday morning for the past year, I have had the chance to see Grinnell in a new light. As I walk my paper route, hands stained with ink from the editions I carry, I get to see the campus as it slowly opens its eyes and comes awake. Every...

I’m a first-generation, low-income student, and when I came to Grinnell, I assumed the only job I could have here would be a position in the Dining Hall — which, to be fair, I loved.

Even though the Dining Hall seems to be most people’s first choice for work, I initially gravitated towards The Scarlet & Black because of the people. Something was to be said about how much I saw The S&B journalists … enjoyed their work despite the frustration, the hours and the will to live it seemed to drain out of people.
Allison Moore, Staff Writer
When I submitted my first S&B staff writer application in the summer of 2021, I was sobbing. I had convinced myself that no one in their right mind would think me capable of writing a coherent article, let alone permit me to publish one. But it had been my dream...
