Sensational Seniors: Dayton Gatewood ’25
B.A. Biology, Philosophy
Ph.D. Candidate, Biomedical Science, University of Iowa

Dayton Gatewood knows how to connect all the dots.
“My biggest take-away from my education at Simpson is that everything in life is interconnected. In my case, it is difficult to understand biology without also understanding chemistry, physics, philosophy, politics and other topics that influence the subject.”
At Simpson, Gatewood held memberships in the ODK and Tri Beta Biology honor societies. She heads to graduate school brimming with confidence.
“Simpson prepared me to move forward by allowing me to gear my education toward my interests. I feel very prepared for graduate school due to my well-rounded classes and experiences. I’m forever grateful for my time here.”
