The Scott/Ross Center establishes and maintains strong reciprocal community partnerships. The Center works with community organizations to identify needs and strengths resulting in mutually beneficial service activities. Among many possibilities, students serve as tutors, lead activity groups for the homeless and the elderly, or act as an advocate for women's issues, while learning about themselves and their area of study. The Scott/Ross Center has developed partnerships with over 40 organizations.
Through its strong community partnerships, the Center provides many opportunities to explore and work with the community. Simmons values its community partners and the Scott/Ross Center is dedicated to continuing and expanding this commitment to service and community involvement
