Simpson University has been patiently waiting for its new and returning students to fly back in.
New Students were greeted with a jam-packed weekend full of fun. The campus was buzzing with each new event. From the electric football scrimmage of the team to the scenic float down the Sacramento River--while not forgetting Midnight Madness at the local Oasis Fun Center. Transfers and First Time Freshmen forged an amazing experience with valuable connections.
Transfer and Commuter Student Carly Lucero speaks on her experience with the events.
“I live 30 minutes away from campus, which can be a challenge for attending the events. I still find I have a great group of friends to go to all the events and make great memories,” Lucero said.
Students were also given a glimpse into the core values and faith of Simpson University. The incorporation of God’s will and faith brought many emotions to students. Whether it was serving in the gateway groups, attending church at Pathway, or attending Arise with the worship team—God's presence was with us.
New freshman Evie Anderson speaks personally on how it has been with her faith here.
“It’s been inspiring to see the faith element being incorporated into these events. It confirmed that I made the right choice to attend Simpson University,” Anderson said.
The fun never stopped—important and information-filled meetings were held for the freshmen, as well as transfers. Information was given on Simpson academics itself including the specific majors. There was a big welcome meeting held on Friday. The Residence Hall meetings were held on Sunday Night.
“Definitely got a good overview of my major and its expectations. The meetings were very informative with great speakers,” freshman Bella Oliver said.
This is just the beginning of the plethora of events hosted by the students and the university. Be sure to check out the Campus Life Instagram – @campuslife_su – for information on the next six weeks full of events!
