In December, Interim Chief Mel Batten-Mickens and Deputy Chief Vito Scotti attended a Boston Police Foundation event for local businesses and nonprofits.

At the gathering, they met Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans, Superintendent Lisa R. Holmes, and several BPD officials who provided an overview of community policing efforts, including expansion of the bike patrol and K-9 program.

The event presented a fantastic opportunity to share information about the Simmons College Police Department as they continue to build relationships and develop community outreach opportunities.

As of January 11th, managers will complete the process for hiring faculty and staff in Workday through the Recruiting Dashboard worklet.

In tandem with the Workday Recruiting launch, all internal job applicants (other than student workers) will now use Workday to apply for opportunities through the new Simmons College Career Site.

THCS has held Workday Recruiting training sessions throughout the month and it’s not too late to sign-up. The final session will take place on Friday, January 29th, from 1pm-2:30pm.

You can learn more about Workday Recruiting by visiting theTHCS website. For specific questions, please email[email protected], call 617-521-2084, or stop by MCB C-210.
