“Empowering student voices and fostering purpose”
Our Commitment
The Division of Student Affairs plays a critical role in “providing transformative learning that links passion with lifelong purpose”. John Simmons had a vision to create a community of scholars who would influence the trajectory of the country and the world. In doing so, he empowered generations of students to embrace a life of purpose, paving a path for women and other marginalized populations. Just as Simmons enters into a stage of transformation, we leverage this moment as an affirmation of our commitment to students’ transformation as they engage within our community.
Vision
To deepen the Simmons student experience through strategic partnerships, coordinated care, and thoughtful and intentional programming.
Mission
To empower all Simmons students to engage in transformative experiences outside of the classroom that foster career readiness, self-efficacy and a sense of purpose.
