Favorite Simpson Memory: My favorite Simpson memory would have to be the time I spent in London through the semester travel abroad program. I was able to see Stonehenge, Shakespeare plays at the Globe Theatre, Houses of Parliament and even a private tour of Buckingham Palace. I also had three awesome weeks in Italy and Greece for May Term. Traveling while in college was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
Favorite Simpson Tradition: One of my favorite traditions at Simpson is coming back from Thanksgiving break – with finals on your mind, then finding the entire campus decorated and lit up for the holidays.
Simpson Insider’s Tip: Get to know as many people as possible – learn from everyone and get involved!
"The most important lessons I learned while at Simpson didn’t come from books, but from new-found friendships, inspiring professors and adventures abroad."
