The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs named Bard College at Simon’s Rock a Fulbright Top Producing Institution for U.S. Scholars.

Timber framing is an art and practice with a storied history. For much of history, designing and constructing buildings was done through precise mathematics and physical labor. However, with the rise of industrialization, timber framing became less and less common for building designs. Timber framing experienced a revival in the 1970s which is still continuing today. This revival was furthered at Simon’s Rock following a recent timber framing course taught by Simon’s Rock alum Adam Miller ‘97 in August 2022, which concluded with a timber raising event on the lawn of the Daniel Arts Center.

Writing & Thinking Workshop and the Book One Lecture series are hallmarks of orientation and the first week of classes at Simon’s Rock.
