Alumni & Giving

The Red. The Gold. The Simpson Spirit.

No matter when you attended, you will always be connected to the #ONESimpson community. The day you graduate, you automatically become part of the Simpson College Alumni Association, an international network of more than 20,000. 

Our alumni stay engaged with Simpson in many ways. They celebrate Homecoming with their classmates, attend networking events around the country, travel together on alumni tours, participate in career development opportunities, mentor and hire our students, and serve on boards and committees.
