About Simpson
Welcome from the President
In C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Narnia creatures trapped in a world where it’s always winter but never Christmas, begin to whisper to one another, “Aslan is on the move.” If you know anything about The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan is a metaphor representing the person of Christ. C.S. Lewis provided a beautiful literary picture of God’s involvement in the world through his Son, Jesus Christ.
We know that “Aslan is on the move” in our day, in our world, and on the campus of Simpson University. He is on the move when our students learn and grow through the outstanding teaching from our faculty. He is on the move in our chapel services when students, faculty, and staff gather to worship. He is on the move when our students participate in intercollegiate athletics, music, theatre, student government, and other co-curricular activities. He is on the move when our students get involved in church ministries and community service opportunities. He is also on the move when our students talk and laugh together in the dining center, coffee shop, or while walking across campus. The Lord is clearly on the move at Simpson University.
I hope our Website gives you a picture of what the Lord is doing at Simpson University. You will find the latest news, program offerings, and access to people who will provide helpful information. Have fun navigating your way through the Simpson University experience. I invite you to follow up your virtual visit with a personal visit to campus.
Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, in our traditional or non-traditional programs, our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to helping you develop in mind, faith, and character to influence the world through leadership, scholarship and service.
Dr. Larry J. McKinney
President
