Cherishing the Moments

This edition of Simpson: The Magazine highlights graduates who are fulfilling the mission of Simpson College abroad. I hope you are inspired by and enjoy reading about their adventures, appreciating how their educational journeys at Simpson prepared them to lead lives of meaning and purpose.

Our mission is the foundation of everything we do at Simpson. Through it we created the platforms for our “Transform Lives to Transform the World” strategic plan that has guided us during my three years as president. The strategic momentum we have established includes the introduction of new curricular and cocurricular opportunities, numerous facility enhancements, and the addition of support services to ensure student success. I am grateful for the creativity of the Simpson community in moving initiatives forward through each iteration of the process. The work being done today will impact students for generations to come.

As I complete my service as president this summer, I look forward to continuing to read about Simpson’s amazing alumni and stellar students who are dedicated to making a world of difference. I have seen how their roads to distinctive excellence have been paved by remarkable faculty and staff mentors who are personally invested in their success. What a privilege it’s been for me to be part of it all; I will forever treasure our ONESimpson community.

I take heart knowing that our graduates will always be exemplars of John Wesley’s wise instruction to, “Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to all the souls you can, in every place you can, at all the times you can, with all the zeal you can, as long as ever you can.” And as I watch all the great Simpson stories unfold, I’ll be beaming with pride.

Thank you for the honor of serving as your president. It has been a true joy!

Kind regards,
