Hawks in the Nest
We’d like to invite our current Red Hawks to share the Simpson experience with their siblings during our first-ever Hawks in the Nest! This two-day event, held during Homecoming & Family Weekend (Friday, October 24 – Saturday, October 25), is all about connection, fun, and family.
Bring your sibling to campus to experience life at Simpson University, explore what it means to be a Red Hawk, and make lasting memories together. It’s a special opportunity for your sibling to see your “home away from home” while beginning their own college search.
