The Scott/Ross Center for Community Service

Welcome

The Scott/Ross Center for Community Service facilitates and promotes community service and service learning for Simmons College faculty, staff, and students. The Center serves the Greater Boston community by developing reciprocal partnerships while enriching and expanding students educational and co-curricular experiences.

Founded in 1899, Simmons College has a strong history of community involvement. The Scott/Ross Center for Community Service was established in 2000 through the generosity of Emily Scott Pottruck '78, Trustee of the College, in recognition of Simmons's strong commitment to community service. The Center is named in honor of Scott Pottruck and her mother, Arlene Ross Gross '47.

The Scott/Ross Center is comprised of two major service programs: Simmons Community Outreach and the Office of Service Learning. These programs work closely together to provide a variety of service opportunities for students, teaching resources for faculty, and support to community partners.
