The McNair Voice

Mrs. Symone Simmons is the newest member to the Georgia State University’s Ronald E. McNair Family. Mrs. Simmons serves as the program’s Educational Program Specialist. Mrs. Simmons hails from Iowa by way of Chicago. She attended Iowa State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Psychology. Prior to becoming the Educational Program Specialist for the McNair Program, Mrs. Simmons was the Senior Admissions Counselor/Program Coordinator at Iowa State University. Her job duties included counseling high school students on their post secondary educational options. That will go right in line with what Mrs. Simmons will be asked to do for the McNair Program the only difference is that the students will be undergraduate students that will need to be counseled about post-baccalaureate educational opportunities. Mrs. Simmons has been here for a little more than a month and she has already become a big hit with the scholars partly due to the fact that from her first day she has had an open door policy.

The McNair Program wants to welcome Mrs. Simmons to the family we are fortunate that you are apart of the team.
