Grinnell College, April 29, 2025
Tanner Alger ’25 is currently working with the College’s inaugural Social Innovator in Residence, Monica Sanders and members of the greater Grinnell Community on a project that seeks to better map digital access disparities in some of the rural areas surrounding Grinnell. As the Rural Internet Infrastructure Mapping Data Fellow for the Residence Rural Internet Access Enhancement Project, Alger is helping peers and local high school students map out gaps in broadband connectivity, technical work that is also personal in nature for someone who grew up in the area and experienced the shortfalls of connectivity.
