Concerned About A Student?

Referrals can now be made to the office of Career Services via the online Adequate Warning And Referral (AWAR) system. If you have concerns of any nature that you feel need to be communicated to our office, you may click AWAR to access the form. Once the referral has been received by our office one of our staff will contact your with a confirmation.

Each year CS sponsors a Career and Graduate School Fair to give our students the opportunity to speak one-on-one with prospective employers and grad school representatives.  We encourage faculty to attend and help develop a relationship between Simpson College and prospective employers of our students.

Will you be an Absent Professor?

You're off to a conference, or to a professional meeting, Whatever the reason, when you plan your syllabus or you know you'll be out for the day rather than cancel class consider calling for backup.  We'd love the opportunity to help.
