<h2>Simmons Government</h2>
<p>Simmons has its own unique government structure. From our
student led initiatives to our unique social "lounge" structure
to our open house meetings and proposals, we have so much to get
involved with.</p>
<p>Contact the Simmons officers
at <a href="mailto:officers@simmons.mit.edu">officers@simmons.mit.edu</a>.
<h2>Heads Of House</h2>
<p>The Head of House team consists of <a
href="mailto:jessig@mit.edu">John Essigmann</a>, Professor of
Chemistry and Biological Engineering; <a
href="mailto:emessig@mit.edu">Dr. Ellen Essigmann</a>; and <a
href="mailto:srhall@mit.edu">Steven Hall</a>, Professor of
Aeronautics and Astronautics.</p>
<p>The Head of House manage and maintain engagement to connect
students, GRTs, MIT faculty, and other community members. They
provide academic and personal guidance to students to help them
get the most out of their time at MIT. The Heads of House also
manage the Residential Scholars Program at Simmons Hall.</p>
<h2>Graduate Resident Tutors (GRTs)</h2>
<p>GRTs, MIT’s first approximation of a Resident Assistant (RA), foster a
living environment that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive of all
community members. This responsibility includes encouraging
personal growth, providing outlets for managing stress, and
facilitating positive interpersonal relationships. GRTs are also
responsible for implementing community standards, enhancing
security, and promoting mutual respect among the residents. At
Simmons Hall they can also be found flipping pancakes at the
famous Simmons Hall Study Breaks and organizing floor-wide
events.</p>
<h2>Residential Life Associate Director (RLAD)</h2>
<p><a href="mailto:jogon_1@mit.edu">Joshua Gonzalez</a> is the
RLAD assigned to Simmons Hall. He is responsible for providing
educational programming, facilitating event planning, and
working with the Simmons Government to promote leadership.</p>
<h2>Residential Scholars Program</h2>
<p>Inspired by the Report of the MIT Taskforce on Student Life and Learing,
The Founders Group of Simmons Hall envisioned a combined
residential and multi-use environment in which the
undergraduates of MIT could interact with other members of the
community. Simmons includes many common spaces on the first
floor that are intended to welcome our colleagues from across
campus and our neighbors from Cambridge.</p>
<p>The Residential Scholars program is meant to enrich MIT with
new ideas and perspectives from people from elsewhere who are eager to share
their wealth of life experiences. The program is composed of
faculty members on sabbatical leave from other institutions,international scholars,
artists, industry professionals, and a limited number of MIT
faculty members who have shown, by a history of
contributions to the community, a reason to participate in this
program.</p>
<p>The program is based in Simmons Hall but services the entire
community. The Scholars, working with the permanent House Team,
typically run programs on Friday evenings. Since its inception
in 2003, the financial resources to support the program
primarily have been provided by the scholarly allowance
associated with the William and Betsy Leitch Professorship,
which is held by John Essigmann, one of the Heads of House of
Simmons Hall. The community is indebted to the Leitchs for their
generous support of this program.</p>
<p>To enquire about eligibility for the Residential Scholars Program, please contact srhall@mit.edu. The application form is <a href="Residential_Scholar_Application_2013-2.doc" download> here </a>. </p>
