Remembering Dr. Grant

It is with deep appreciation for a life well lived that we share the passing of Dr. James Grant, Simpson’s longest-serving president.

For many of our alumni, Dr. Grant was more than a leader. He was your president, a steady and faithful presence during your time at Simpson. His love for this place, his care for students, and his commitment to Christ-centered education shaped the lives of so many and helped guide the university for years to come.

We give thanks for his life, his leadership, and the lasting impact he has made on our community.

Share a memory with the family:

The learning didn’t stop when you graduated.

We’re continuing to host conversations on faith, vocation, and life, including an upcoming event with Christian author John Coleman on building a financial life with purpose.

If you’re nearby, come sit in, reconnect, and be part of what’s still happening at Simpson.

Choir has long been a meaningful part of the Simpson experience.

For many alumni, it was a place where friendships were formed, gifts were developed, and something deeper took shape through music shared together.

That tradition continues.

Join us for Simpson University’s Spring Concert: Celebrating 250 Years of American Music on Friday, April 10 at 7:00 PM in the Grant Student Center (Gym).

The evening will feature performances by the Chorale, Jazz Band, and Symphonic Choir, along with special guest appearances by the Redding Bell Peppers handbell choir. The program includes a vibrant mix of patriotic favorites, works by American composers, and selections that reflect the story and spirit of our nation.

Whether you’re reconnecting with a meaningful part of your own Simpson experience or simply enjoying an evening of music, we would be glad to have you with us.

General Admission: $12
Free with Simpson ID

I loved seeing the opening moments of this 5-minute update from Alliance President Jonathan Schaeffer, especially the footage captured this past week here at Simpson. You’ll spot familiar spaces, professors, and students, and it’s a reminder the mission we experienced as students is still shaping lives today.

There’s a verse hanging on my wall at Simpson that continually reframes why I do what I do:

“The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37–38)

For many of us, words like these helped shape who we became. God used Simpson as part of our story, forming our calling, friendships, faith, and direction.

Part of my role now is helping re-engage all of you as alumni because the story didn’t end at graduation. We are still inviting others into it. The same harvest Jesus spoke about remains today, and Simpson continues to be a place where workers are prepared and sent.

Take a few minutes to watch. You may recognize more than you expect.

Remembering Mr. Alan Rose
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Mr. Rose, a longtime Simpson professor and beloved member of our community.

Mr. Rose began teaching at Simpson College’s San Francisco campus in 1977 and continued faithfully after the move to Redding, serving students through his retirement in 2013. He is remembered for his love of literature, his care for students, and his quiet, steady faith.

To read Mr. Rose’s full obituary, please log in to SimpsonAlumni.com (https://simpsonalumni.com/feed)

We hold his family and loved ones in prayer and gratitude today.
