Overview

Converse College was founded on the radical idea that young women deserved a space, designed for them, to pursue higher education. Since that first year, Converse has continued to help those women find their voice, understand their true value, and refine their vision.  As times change, however, so must we. How might we continue to adapt converse’s founding principles in order to serve a new generation of women?

We, as students, are entering a post-grad landscape far different than our predecessors. Steeped in technology, and connected on a massive, global scale, the tools we need to be successful in the world outside Converse’s campus are ever-changing. It is time for us to foster an innovative, creative ecosystem where failure is nothing but a starting point, and problems are nothing but opportunities.
