National Civics Bee Logo

Simpson College is hosting the 2025 National Civic Bee from the Iowa Chamber Alliance this afternoon.

The National Civics Bee is an annual competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. In the first round of the contest, students will participate in an essay competition. Judges will then select 20 finalists to participate in the final round: a live quiz event testing civics knowledge.

The event is today from 1-4pm in Hubbell Hall in the Kent Campus Center on the Simpson College campus.
