Asked how she woulddescribe a provost to someone who did not know what it was, Seymour said, “A provostworks together with all of the deans, the faculty, and the president to advance the academicmission of the school. At Simmons, this means we support the academic mission ofteaching, scholarship/research, creative activity, and service.”Seymour said she was drawn to Simmons because of its impressive mission of integratingprofessional career preparation with a liberal arts education. During the past year she hasspent much of her time overseeing revisions to the faculty policy manual and working onthe Academic Business Review, a broad assessment of the undergraduate college and the fivegraduate programs.“These are exciting times for Simmons, and I look forward to having the opportunity toserve, support, and do the best I can for the College.”
