Mary Simmons graduated from Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK University with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Studies in 2010. While interning in the Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK Alumni Office her senior year, she built bonds and relationships that would land her a full-time job in the office a few months after graduation. Simmons moved up in the Alumni Office to Associate Director in just two years, and then eventually to Director. She completed her MBA at Â鶹ÊÓƵAPK in 2016, which led her to a new passion of teaching. This is her eighth-year teaching Personal and Professional Development 101 to all of the first year and transfer business majors. This year, Simmons was promoted to Director of Advancement and Campaign Operations and she now oversees the Advancement database and reporting functions. She resides in Dallas with her two children, Michael and Bella.
