The Board of Trustees has allocated funds toward the professional development of Simmons staff. The committee's goal is to award funds to staff wishing to participate in conferences, workshops, and other wide-ranging projects/activities promoting areas such as community building, innovation, knowledge-sharing, diversity, and the strengthening and enhancement of Simmons College. All applications will be reviewed by the committee and those in queue for approval will require a final sign-off from the manager.
Committee members are available to answer any questions that staff may have about this exciting initiative. Below is a list of the Staff Development Fund committee members. You may also send questions to staffdev@simmons.edu.
