College Campuses make memories you’ll remember.
Simpson University loves to create memories—showcasing them to every platform available. Now, you can have all your college year memories in your hands.
Campus Life is proud to work on a book containing all this school year’s memorable moments. Whether from Sweet 16 events, sports games, chapel, or life in general, this photobook will feature it. It’s a book that won’t just collect dust on the shelf—it’s a piece of memorabilia that will last forever.
Kia Flack, the creative projects coordinator and mastermind of the Campus Collective has had this book in mind for some time.
“There’s been traditions being built, and we’ve been taking photos of it, so we’re like, what if we did like a collection not just pictures from the event,” Flack said.
Flack envisions the book to find a place on your coffee table, a piece that completes your home or dorm room.
The process of the book is constantly in the works, with events coming left and right on campus. With so much happening in a year, putting focus on a couple is a challenge.
“We want to highlight things like welcome weekends, homecoming, the sweet-sixteen events, chapel, mission trip stories from last year, sports highlights, and special events,” Flack said.
A school year's worth of photos is hard to compress to 70 pages—but Campus Life knows how to sort through it to get to the highlights.
Hannah Hartsburg, one of the Media Assistants for Campus Life has enjoyed working on the book.
“It’s honestly been fun because it’s been a different perspective looking at past events, and we get to reflect on it,” Hartsburg said.
The collective is being worked on constantly, with a new event each week to capture and paste into the book.
“It’s been fun to work on it every week and just kind of have a little time dedicated just to this,” Hartsburg said.
Ruby Churchill, one of the Media Assistants for Campus Life loves getting to format and show a creative side to the book.
“I love the creativity and organizing everything. We need to be sure everything fits and making sure it all looks good,” Churchill said.
Churchill does voice the struggle behind having so many memories and little space to work with in the collective.
“We also have so many pictures we wanna show when we only have 70 pages,” Churchill said.
Flack’s vision for the book is to have a flow—the style is put into thought, with photos being chosen carefully.
“We don’t wanna put too many photos on one page where it looks cluttered. You want it to still look stylish and almost like calming as you look through it, so we have to choose our photos wisely,” Flack said.
The Campus Collective is set to be a new tradition at Simpson, for students will have this book as a memorable piece even after college. The book is set to be released during Spring Fest, the last sweet sixteen events, so be on the lookout and get it before it’s gone.
