Associate Dean of Academics and Student Affairs719-530-7905 | rsimpson4@coloradomtn.edu
Rob Simpson joined the Colorado Mountain College team in 2020. For the past 21 years Rob has worked with college students at several universities on the West coast using the outdoors as a classroom to teach his students about the important things in life.
Rob started his career as an outdoor educator in 1990 when he started leading backpacking trips in the Ansel Adams Wilderness while working for a summer camp just outside of Yosemite National Park. Those three summers changed the trajectory of Rob's life and for the past 20+ years he's been taking college students into the outdoors backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, and winter camping all over Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado and Baja Mexico.
"Even after 30 years of leading outdoor adventures I still love sitting around a campfire or walking down the trail with a student and getting to hear their story. That will never get old!"
