Sophomore Pioneer Also Taking Courses Through Harvard Busines School

TR Jones returning an interception
Sophomore safety and quarterback TR Jones has recently been approved to participate in a program that offers supplemental courses through Harvard Business School.  This past spring Grinnell College was selected as one of only seven liberal arts colleges nationally that have entered into an agreement with Harvard.  According to the release, "CORe is an online program, consisting of approximately 150 hours of learning, for students and early career professionals to learn the fundamentals of business on a highly engaging and interactive platform designed by Harvard Business School faculty."  The agreement with Harvard is yet another example of Grinnell retaining its core philosophies as liberal arts college, while also pioneering new ways for our students to learn and to separate themselves from the competition.  I'm excited that TR was approved for the program, and wish him the best of luck!  Congrats TR!
