Alumni Meetups
Coming to a Happy Hour Near You
We learned many things throughout the pandemic. We learned that technology extends our reach beyond Iowa and a handful of cities throughout the nation. Lecture series like Legends of Simpson (simpson. edu/legendsofsimpson) featuring some of Simpson’s most well-known retired faculty and staff were born. Alumni affinity groups began reconnecting via Zoom, Alumni Association Board of Directors committee meetings went online, and Alumni Mentoring partners connected from time zones away.

But we also learned that nothing will ever replace the importance of faceto-face reconnection. The Alumni Association is excited to spearhead a new initiative – Simpson Alumni Meetups. These casual happy hour style gatherings, hosted by alumni volunteers, will bring additional opportunities to alumni throughout the nation to connect with fellow alumni in person.
Upcoming Events
June 29 – Simpson Night @ Jasper Winery Summer Concert Series Featuring The Nadas
July 10 – Simpson Happy Hour @ Iowa Distilling Company with music from Mike Tiedeman ’04
