Daniel Arts Center - McConnell Theater


This year marks 112 years since the birth of Elizabeth Blodgett Hall, the far-seeing innovator who launched Simon’s Rock and with it the early college movement. Happy Birthday, Betty!
 
To celebrate, we’re inviting the campus community to a Founder's Day kickoff event in the McConnell Theater on Monday, November 15, at 4:15 p.m. Provost John B. Weinstein will introduce a new short film dedicated to Betty’s founding vision and how it’s expressed today. For those who want to participate, the event will conclude with a writing prompt from Dean of Faculty and Curricular Development Brendan Mathews.
 
Please join us in recognizing the mother of the early college movement and her many achievements.
