Favorite Simpson Memory: Making it to the NCAA tournament all 4 years on the women's basketball team! Especially my sophomore year when we were flown to New York City to play in the Sweet Sixteen, that was an amazing experience I'll never forget.  Winning was definitely fun, but having teammates and coaches that were like family is what made the experience so special.  Also my May Term trips to Ireland & Great Britain along with my service trip to Denver are right up there too.

Favorite Simpson Tradition: It's hard to choose just one, but I would have to say the Stand Around. It's the first organized activity of the school year where you get to see all your friends you haven’t seen all summer.  You can just feel the excitement build as everyone is reunited and anticipating what the next year will bring.

Simpson Insider's Tip: Looking back on my Simpson experience, the things I enjoyed the most and will forever cherish are products of the things I got involved in - so get involved!  The relationships I built, my team, my traveling experiences, internships and more are what made Simpson so unique.  No two experiences are alike; it's something you have to define for yourself.  So get involved and determine what your Simpson experience will be.  

"I love Simpson because it allowed me to achieve success on a level that I never could have achieved alone.  Simpson did so much for me but most importantly it challenged me, allowing me to figure out who I am and the person I wanted to be."
