As we enter the new school year, we caught up with some of our 2026 Simpson Strong-Tie Student Scholarship recipients to learn about their experiences during the Strong-Tie Undergraduate Fellowship field trip.
True leadership begins with recognizing the value that every individual brings to the table. Michelle Kam-Biron's commitment to mentoring students, supporting women in engineering and fostering professional growth reflects Simpson Strong-Tie’s dedication to Principle 5, Everybody Matters; Principle 4, Be the Leader; and Principle 2, Long-Range View. Through her efforts to expand opportunities and empower future engineers, Michelle is helping build a stronger, more inclusive profession for generations to come.
One of the first things you notice when you visit our home office in Pleasanton, CA, is the art. Our late founder, Barclay Simpson, had a great appreciation for art. It’s one of the many legacies he left us. From the eight-foot metal sculpture of Michelangelo’s David — made completely from Simpson Strong-Tie products — that greets you at the main entrance, to the one-of-a-kind paintings, prints and sculptures scattered throughout the building, it’s quickly apparent that ours is not just another suburban office building.
