The Simmons College Emergency Response Team (SCERT) is proud to announce the second-annual Simmons Safety Week.
From October 19th-23rd, SCERT will sponsor events, safety drills, and communications to provide the community with the information you need in the event of an emergency on campus.
Look for an email from the SCERT team with event dates, times, and locations. You can also find more information on digital signage and social media.
With the fall semester about to begin, Simmons Technology would like to remind everyone that you can access many technology resources both on- and off-campus. Whether it’s your first day at Simmons or just the first day of a new semester, we’re here to help.

A Note about VCRs and VHS
In today’s media environment, the VHS tape format is becoming increasingly difficult to support. Like many other schools, Simmons has stopped deploying VCRs and the library no longer purchases any materials in VHS format. For faculty who use VHS tapes, Library staff can research whether your content is available in a newer format (DVD, Blu-Ray, streaming).
If you have any questions about these changes or about classroom media equipment in preparation for the fall semester, please contact the Service Desk at 617-521-2222.
