Effective Sunday, April 25th, Zoom will be enabling new features in the Zoom for GSuite/Google Calendar Add-On that will prompt all users to reauthorize Google’s access to contacts and the directory. Users will only need to reauthorize once. Reauthorization will be required in order to continue using the add-on’s schedule meetings functionality. If the user declines the reauthorization, the Zoom for GSuite/Google Calendar Add-On will no longer be able to schedule meetings.
In preparation for our Workday Student move to production, new student employee hiring will be frozen from February 8th through March 1st.

Additionally, there will be a Workday production freeze beginning Wednesday, February 24th at 4pm until Monday morning, March 1st. Workday will be unavailable for all functions during this time. Please contact [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
After nearly 14 years at Simmons, Drew Mirque, Manager of Academic Systems Support, will be retiring at the end of January. Drew has been instrumental in providing faculty with outstanding academic systems support including management and oversight of the Simmons Moodle environment. Since late 2019, Drew has also overseen Instructional Design support for Simmons Moodle based courses.
With Drew’s departure, Instructional Design support will move to the Center for Excellence in Teaching. Technical support for Moodle and non-2U based academic technologies including Panopto, Turnitin, Ally, and EvaluationKIT will remain in Technology.
Please join us as we wish Drew the best of luck as he embarks on this exciting new chapter.
