“Reach high, for stars lie
hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream
precedes the goal.” --Pamela
Vaull Starr “Today is unique! It has
never occurred before and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end,
quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are
opportunities with eternal possibilities.” --Charles Swindoll

no significant difference in how they login. The new eLearning name is being
deployed on all Simmons computers being prepared for the fall semester, and
changes will take place on the Simmons website in advance of the start of
classes this fall as well. In addition, while we will
