In the summer of 2014, Daniel Kisslinger '14 traveled through the western United States to conduct interviews with Grinnell College alumni about their experiences beyond graduation.
Many of the alumni with whom I talked shared experiences that rang true to my own process of transition, and I couldn't help but look for these parallels as the trip went on. Yet, as I conducted the final interview of the trip, I was astounded at the similarities between Eric's point of view and my own. We sit in his office and talk for so long that he ends up being late for dinner at home.

Cory Conover - Okoboji, IA
I had always heard about the mythical Lake Okoboji, a freshwater oasis in the monotonous landlocked Iowa. When Cory asked if I'd like to visit him there, I jumped at the opportunity. We go out on the lake in his boat with the family. His children scream with delight, and there's a dry smile is on his lips as he races across the water.

Darcie Rives-East - Sioux Falls, SD
Darcie first read four of the books that she teaches at Augustana–the stories she deems worthy of representing American literature–in one course at Grinnell. As a professor, she shares these texts, coupled with an understanding that not everything can be understood the same way. She tells me that she hopes this helps her students as they wrestle with both the books and their own baggage.
