The Grinnell College Innovator for Social
Justice Prize honors individuals who have demonstrated leadership in their
fields and who show creativity, commitment, and extraordinary accomplishment in
effecting positive social change. Each prize carries an award of $100,000, half
to the winning individual(s) and half to their organization.
In 2014, Susan Sanning, director of service
learning and civic engagement, and Saunia Powell, assistant director of
post-graduate service and coordinator of the Grinnell Prize, visited three organizations
in Africa that received The Grinnell Prize. They will be the featured speakers
at the Grinnell Regional Medical Center SE*ED program on Monday, June 8.
Sanning and Powell will share their experiences and discuss what these
organizations are doing to benefit the people in the region. The program meets
at 10 a.m. in the Caulkins Community Room at Drake Community Library. All are
invited to this free program. Refreshments are served beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Parking is available at the Drake Community
Library, along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian
