Welcome to Simmons: Assalama alaikum!

The Simmons Islamic Society (SIS), formerly the Muslim Students Association, is a student organization which focuses on establishing a comfortable environment for the Muslim community within the institution. We not only work to meet the needs, both social and religious of our fellow sisters, but also work towards meeting the needs of our religious and non-religious communities at large. SIS is a diverse group of women who are passionate about serving community, proud of their religious heritage, and welcoming to all.

We aim to keep access to multi-faith rooms as uncomplicated as possible. Their shared nature relies largely on the respect of the community and users. The rooms are provided for prayer, meditation, and reflection. The rooms are generally available on a drop-in basis and it may often be necessary to wait for the room to become free. Multi-faith and meditation spaces for all students, faculty and staff are available on both the residence and academic campuses.
