BOSTON, Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Coinciding with the beginning of the spring 2015 academic semester, Simmons College announced its new compelling brand messaging along with the launch of a new, enhanced website, which showcases the success of alumnae/i, faculty, and students in an exciting and dynamic manner.

The new messaging supports the College's focus on preparing women and men who have the courage and confidence to lead in their fields and communities. The tagline is: Your Moment. Your Move. Your Simmons. — where leaders make themselves.

"The new brand messaging and website demonstrates why Simmons is such a remarkable institution that has prepared thousands of women and men to lead change that impacts families, communities, and the world for more than a century," said Simmons College President Helen Drinan. "Simmons College is the pre-eminent authority on women's leadership, with established expertise in the development and success of women and girls."

The primary goal of the brand messaging and new website is to embolden efforts to recruit undergraduate and graduate students – on campus and for online programs – and excite alumnae/i and donors to continue to support the College.

This website was developed by the Simmons College Marketing and Technology departments. Input was gathered from hundreds of community members including students, faculty, staff, and alumnae/i.

New features of the website include:

• A dynamic homepage that highlights our students, alumnae/i, and faculty who tell the Simmons story in the most compelling ways
