Simpson University Alumni

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:
We invite you to write a brief note or memory for Dr. Grant’s family in this digital memory book:https://forms.office.com/r/vj0e0DKf2F

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.
