Great internship experiences
Simpson students have had some amazing internships, getting them up close and personal with some of the region's premier sports opportunities, including the Iowa Cubs, Iowa Wild, Iowa Wolves, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and the Principal Charity Golf Classic to name a few. Some of these even led to full-time positions.
