GUARANTEED INTERNSHIPS

I chose to transfer to Simpson because of the sense of community, and because small class sizes were very appealing to me. I had a great internship with Mercy Physical Therapy, which was an exceptional

opportunity to enhance my academic experience. The professors are all so personable and they truly

want you to succeed in life. They are willing to work with you to find those great opportunities.”

I transferred into Simpson from another 4-year college my sophomore

year and was grateful for the smooth transition. The faculty in the

communication studies department encouraged me to apply for my

internship with KCCI in Des Moines, and fully supported me, my goals and aspirations every step of the

way. That internship is what really launched my career.”
