The young and the old, the festive and the solemn, all blended together in an elegantly moving ceremony March 31 for the inauguration of Susan C. Scrimshaw as the 7th president of the century-old college. The inauguration, which marked the formal launching of Scrimshaw's presidency, was the culmination of three days of celebratory and academic events that showcased the past, present, and future vision of Simmons.
"The past is key to our future ... the roots of our past must continue to feed the fruit of our future," President Scrimshaw told the hundreds of guests in her inaugural speech in the grand ballroom of Boston's Copley Marriott Hotel.
