Office Updates Thanks to all students and staff who volunteered
their Saturday to help work at the Leadership Conference last weekend. It was
a great day by all accounts, inspiring as well as educational. With record
attendance of over 3000 people, we couldn’t have done it without you.
One of my proudest moments each year is walking into the registration area in
the morning and seeing so many of you working and helping anyone that needed
it. The clapping when you saw my shoes and suit was pretty funny too, I have
to admit!! I know that many of you were on your feet for
hours and everyone was exhausted at the end of the day, but I hope it was a
day that reminded you of why you came to business school, why you chose
Simmons and renewed your sense of pride in your school. Thanks again for
everything that each of you did to make the day such a success. Quote of the Week - Inspired by the speakers at last
weekend’s conference! “We all have dreams. But in order to make
dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication,
self-discipline, and effort.” --Jesse
Owens Schedule Reminders for Next Week Saturday, May 12, Big Sister/Little Sister event,
9-12:30pm The fall schedule is under construction and
registration will be in early June! The Track Meeting scheduled for
Tuesday, May 15th has been rescheduled to the following Tuesday, May 22nd at
3pm. Please adjust your schedule.
The SOM will be closed during
the Memorial Day weekend. There will be no access to the SOM buildings
Saturday, May 26th – Monday, May 28th. We are looking for 2-3 MBA
student volunteers for the SOM booth at Earthfest. The event is on Saturday,
May 26th from 10am-6pm at the Hatch Shell. We can arrange shifts so each
student is not there the full day (10-2 and 2-6). As an incentive for the 3
volunteers there is an offer from the radio station for a pair of tickets for
any show that is not sold out at the Bank of America Pavilion, the Professor Sylvia Maxfield is
looking for a current student with time on her hands to work about 30 hours a
week for three weeks in the next five. We need someone with excellent phone
skills, can think on her feet, and are highly organized and persistent. This
is to help us get CSR leaders in Fortune 100 companies to take a short
Zoomerang survey we have designed. We are offering $20 an hour for up to 100
hours. If you are interested please contact Jennie Morris at jennifer.morris3@simmons.edu Sometime between 5:30pm on May 1 and 8:30am on May 2, there was another break-in within the SOM buildings, this time it was the Executive Education offices. All Executive Education offices were entered, drawers ransacked, and walkie-talkies were stolen. We are investigating this incident and if any one has any information that could help us, please let Karen or Mary D. know. |
