Simpson University Alumni

Looking forward to reconnecting with alumni and families across the Bay Area next weekend.

From longtime friends to recent graduates, these gatherings are always a reminder of the relationships and shared experiences that continue long after graduation.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us in Livermore next Saturday (June 27), there’s still time; we’d love to see you there.

What if the work God has you doing today is preparing you for something you never expected?

That's a theme Simpson alumnus Todd Gorton ('96) has experienced throughout his career. His journey has included pastoral ministry, nonprofit leadership, broadcast media, and today leading Community Impact efforts for In-N-Out Burger, where he oversees community giving, volunteerism, and partnerships that serve communities across the western United States.

Reflecting on God's leading, Todd shares:

"The best way to think about 'what's next' is to hold two thoughts together in tension. First, 'what's now' and second, 'what could be.' We embrace today with gratitude while trusting God to direct our steps into tomorrow."

On Tuesday, June 30, Todd will join fellow Simpson alumnus Robert Kovacs ('16) for our next Next Steps: Ministry & Calling conversation.

If you're navigating questions of calling, transition, leadership, or what God may have next, we'd love to have you join us.
