Office of the General Counsel

A Message from Kathy Rogers,
General Counsel and Assistant Vice President of
Employee Services and Resources at Simmons College:

Welcome! The Office of the General Counsel Website is designed to provide a primary location where members of the Simmons Community can find policies and procedures and answers to questions, as well as other information to assist you in your work at Simmons.  The pages that follow represent the first phase of what I hope will become a comprehensive site for information for faculty, administration, and staff concerning legal issues, rights, and responsibilities within the higher education context and risk management at Simmons.

I welcome your feedback, particularly with regard to what information and materials you would like to see included in this site. Please feel free to email me at kathleen.rogers@simmons.edu.
