Simpson Strong-Tie Hosts Fellowship for Scholarship Recipients
Simpson Strong-Tie hosted 32 Simpson Strong-Tie Student Scholarship Program award recipients from universities across the country as part of its new fellowship program. Students awarded the scholarship are incoming 2019–2020 juniors and seniors majoring in civil or structural engineering, architecture or construction management.
The Simpson Strong-Tie Fellowship is a three-day event in northern California providing participating students opportunities to network with industry professionals and fellow scholarship awardees, meet with Simpson Strong-Tie executives and tour the company’s headquarters along with its Tye Gilb Research Laboratory, the largest privately held structural engineering lab in the nation. They visit one of the company’s production facilities to view the manufacturing process and the cutting-edge technologies and robotics used to help make the company’s products. Students also participate in hands-on installations and demos using Simpson Strong-Tie products and visit a local jobsite so they can see the products in use.
