SOM Fall Telethon The Office of Development and Alumnae Relations (ODAR) is seeking volunteers for our Fall Telethon. Telethons are an important component of achieving our Annual Fund goal, and also provide a great opportunity for students to meet and network with SOM alumnae who also volunteer for the telethon. Your participation is essential if we are to acheive our goal. Note that no experience is necessary – we will train and have fun while we're doing it! Please join us to help the SOM reach its goals for 2005. This year's priorities include: the Entrepreneurship and Diversity Initiatives, the Corporate Outreach Initiative, Leadership and Accountability, and the Center for Gender in Organizations. We provide delicious refreshments, good spirit, and great prizes to our volunteer callers. So check your calendars and contact Corinne Sirianos at 617.521.3825 or corinne.sirianos@simmons.edu to sign up. If you can’t be there in person, but you would still like to help, please drop us a line about the Phone from Home program, which allows you to make calls at your convenience. |

Most loan funds for the fall semester have arrived, and refunds to students are currently being processed. All students are encouraged to double check that their mailing address is correct on SOAR so that refund checks can be mailed to the correct location. Have your loan funds not been disbursed to Simmons already? If this is the case, there may be some additional paperwork that you need to complete. First time borrowers at Simmons must complete Entrance Counseling online with Sallie Mae and complete a Master Promissory Note. In addition, all students are required to complete the Simmons College Graduate Student Supplemental Information Form. If you are not sure if your loan funds have arrived and you would like to check the status of your account, please contact our office. Account Representatives Kevin
