Nate Connealy If you are unsure about a major, Nate Connealy has a message for you: Simpson can help. “I didn’t know what I wanted to study when I came to Simpson,” he said. “The students and faculty described how common that was. They reassured me that they would work with me to find my niché.” Nate knew that Simpson’s Engaged Citizenship Curriculum would provide the opportunity to explore different academic fields. He decided to major in criminal justice and Spanish.
“ B e ca u s e o f S imps on , I ’ v e dis co ve r e d my d re a m o f wo r king in the c r i m i na l ju st ice f ield.”

A PERSONALIZED EDUCATION
STEPHEN HENRICH
At Simpson, you will be taught by a professor, not a graduate assistant. Most of our professors hold the highest degrees in their field. They are accomplished experts.
Stephen Henrich’s Simpson experience was so successful, he was accepted into the following medical schools: Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Duke, Northwestern, the Mayo Clinic and the University of Iowa.
Our smaller class sizes mean that you will get the personal attention you deserve. You won’t be an anonymous face in a large lecture hall. Simpson professors invest the time to get to know you as a person—your hopes, your dreams. Someday, your professors may be writing recommendations on your behalf to employers and graduate schools. Wouldn’t you want them to know you?
He credits his Simpson professors. “We have fantastic faculty members who are willing to get involved, and help you with anything you want to do,” he says. Stephen majored in math, biochemistry and philosophy. “Not only are the faculty really willing to work with each other, but the structure is also set up to be tightly knit,” he says. “Each department likes to see students branch out.” One of his Simpson professors helped him obtain an internship to study glaucoma at the Jackson Laboratory in Maine. Another worked with him as he studied the AIDS crisis in Namibia in southern Africa.
At Simpson, they will.

“You don’t spend your first two years at Simpson just being somebody’s assistant. I was constructing my own research projects from day one. The professors were more than happy to work with me.”

Sarina Rhinehart has served as the finance intern for a political campaign, a marketing intern for the Des Moines Downtown Community Alliance and communications intern for the Iowa House Democratic Caucus at the State Capitol. “My internships have helped me discover what types of work I am interested in,” she said. She eventually hopes to be a professor in politics or history. “My experiences as an intern have been some of the most worthwhile experiences at Simpson. They allow me to take the skills I learn in the classroom and apply them to real-world situations.”

KELLY HEIN Before she left for college, Kelly Hein’s older brother offered some advice: “See the world.” “He didn’t have a chance to study abroad, and he always regretted it.” She spent a semester in Thailand as part of the Simpson Experience Abroad program. She also traveled to the Dominican Republic for a May Term class. “It was a blast,” she said. “I’m fascinated by culture and sociology. Studying abroad really appealed to me for those reasons.” Simpson, Kelly said, offers the feel of a smalltown community where people think critically about global issues. “Having the Study Abroad experience puts me at ease for the transition after college,” she said.

Nearly 90 IIAC championships Two Division III Championships Twenty individual titles More than 250 All-Americans Nearly 50 Academic All-Americans
Kate Nielsen Kate Nielsen enjoyed one of the greatest seasons in the storied history of the Simpson women’s basketball team.
Simpson athletes excel in their sport and in the classroom. Linebacker Mark Cronin was a leader on the 2012 Simpson football team. He also maintained a 3.9 GPA while majoring in Accounting and Economics, which led to a position at Ernst and Young, a public accounting firm in Des Moines. He believes there is a connection between athletic competition and academic success. “Just like you prepare for tests by going to class and doing homework, my teammates and I had to do the same before each game every week,” he said. Simpson athletes compete at the NCAA Division III level in the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Simpson’s new football field turf and track surface are considered the best in the industry. The renovation of the athletic facilities will be completed in December 2013. It’s all about putting athletes like Mark—and you—in the best position to succeed.
She earned first team All-American honors on the court and first team Academic All-American honors in the classroom. “They’re equal awards in my book, because I had to work just as hard to get both of them,” she said. “It’s something I dreamed of happening.” Kate transferred to Simpson from a larger school after her freshman year. “I do not regret one single thing about coming here,” she said. “Everywhere you go, you’re a family. There were professors at my games, who then would email and say they were supporting us. That’s a community that I want to be involved in. “I definitely feel 100 percent prepared for the future.”

THE
ARTS
Simpson excels in the arts—and you don’t have to be a music, art or theatre major to participate. In fact, students are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones and try something new. You can, of course, major in art, theatre or music, but part of what makes the Simpson experience so enriching is that you can still participate in those programs as a non-major. You never know what might happen. Maybe you’ll find yourself on stage! Anything is possible at Simpson.

CALEB CARVER Simpson stresses hands-on experience. For senior Caleb Carver, a theatre major, that meant acting, directing, designing props and serving as an assistant lighting and stage designer for various productions.

SUCCESS
“I’ve done it all,” he said, “which is what I wanted, because I felt that if I’m going to teach children about theatre, then I should know the basics of all of it.” Jennifer Nostrala, professor of theatre arts, had the contacts to help Caleb obtain a summer internship at The Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis, the largest children’s theatre in the world. “That internship taught me so much. I was able to work with children ages 3 to 12. I learned personal skills, like conflict management and how to communicate. I’m getting job interviews because that internship is on my resumé.” Caleb said the best part about his Simpson experience “is the relationships I have created with other people. In our theatre, we talk about how we’re like a large family. I’m confident that will continue after college.”

SERVING OTHERS Our students are known for accepting the responsibility to make the community and the world a better place. Others have noticed. Newsweek magazine ranked Simpson among the nation’s top 25 schools for the most service-minded students, faculty and policies. Each year since its inception, the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll has recognized Simpson for its commitment to community service.
“Service at Simpson is more than what we do. It’s who we’re called to be.” - Jim Hayes, Associate Dean and Director of CVIL 28
SIMPSON COLLEGE
CAMPUS DAY A tradition that goes back to 1890. Everyone at Simpson—students, faculty and staff—take a day to volunteer for a project on campus and in the community.
“Simpson always looks so beautiful after Campus Day. It’s like the official beginning of spring.” – Ben Rodgers
Religious Life Community (RLC)
Sustainability
This student-led group strives to meet the spiritual needs of every student.
Simpson cares about our environment. Students run an organic garden. We also offer free bicycles and have hydration stations to reduce water bottle consumption.
“This is a community where anyone can come to grow in the never-ending journey of faith and spirituality.” - Austin Roy, RLC president
Wesley Service Scholars Selected students are offered a $500 scholarship to perform 40 hours of volunteer service every semester.
“Being a Wesley Service Scholar allows you to try things you’ve never done before. I worked for Habitat for Humanity, was a Big Sister and a Girl Scout leader. I also started a charity to send clothes to orphans in Rwanda.”
“Working in the organic garden on campus helped me realize my interests in farming and organic agriculture. I want to supply good food to people as well as preserve the environment. Simpson is committed to a sustainable future.”

DANA LAIN Dana Lain graduated in April 2012. She’s now a full-time aquarist at the National Aquarium in Washington, D.C., where she keeps sharks healthy and helps raise baby sea turtles. “My love and drive to work with marine wildlife came from the experiences I had at Simpson,” she says. Those experiences included a May Term trip her freshman year to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Then she held an internship at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines. That led to an internship at the National Aquarium, which led to her job. Dana was encouraged at Simpson to declare an interdisciplinary major, which allowed her to choose courses in environmental science, biology and journalism.
