President of Grinnell College

Since the college's founding in 1846, Grinnell College has had thirteen presidents and seven acting presidents. The College president is responsible for all aspects of the institution's internal and external affairs, including administrative and academic decision-making.

While Iowa College, later renamed Grinnell College, did not have a president for the first years of its existence, after the Civil War, the trustees chose fellow trustee George Frederick Magoun to lead the institution as it matured. From his inauguration in 1865, Magoun served 19 years, the second longest presidential tenure in the college's history.

The current Grinnell College president is Raynard S. Kington, who replaced president Russell K. Osgood to become the 13th president of the College on August 1, 2010.
