New Student Orientation at Simpson University is the official kickoff to your Red Hawk experience! This three-day orientation is designed for all new freshmen and transfer students to help you settle in, connect with campus leaders, and build community before classes begin. From move-in and academic prep to fun events and new friendships, it’s your launchpad for a successful start at Simpson.

Whether you’re living on campus or commuting, Welcome Weekend is your chance to meet faculty, staff, and fellow students—and to get fully equipped for your Simpson journey.

Homecoming 2025 is fast approaching – join us for a weekend full of celebration, starting with our Fall Concert on Thursday night. Enjoy a full slate of athletic events, including the Alumni Baseball Game and our Home Football Game, as well as special recognitions of this year’s esteemed alumni. We’re also excited to present the second annual art show, themed Light in the Darkness, and the 5th annual Red Hawk 5K. Families, students (past and present), and community members are all invited to take part in one, some, or all of the events during our biggest weekend of the year!
