Single-stream recycling has been around for a long time at Simmons, but we only recycle about 20% of the waste we create on campus. Let’s see if we can increase that percentage this year!

Here are some tips for what and when you can recycle:

• Paper, plastic, glass, metal? Drop it all in the same recycling bin.
• Recycle everything right at your desk. Office suite and deskside bins are emptied twice a week.
• Almost everything at the Fens can go in the recycling bin, except food waste and plasticware. Think twice before dropping your plates and to-go containers in the trash!
• Single-stream is available at every recycling bin on campus, whether in a common area or in an office.

This fall, THCS and Technology will roll out the newest module in Workday: Recruiting. The Recruiting module will bring the entire applicant-to-hire workflow online. Hiring managers will be able to record feedback from interviews, complete reference check forms, and track candidates through the recruitment process. In addition, the Recruiting module will provide reporting and analytics to aid managers in strategic decision making.

New Email Address for Recruiting Requests
THCS is asking that all new recruiting requests be sent to [email protected] during the implementation of the Recruiting module. This email address is monitored by several staff members to ensure that THCS can respond to your request in a timely fashion and that all requests are cataloged and resolved.

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.
