Fall 2023
The start of a new semester is unquestionably my favorite time of year! When students return to Converse with a renewed sense of determination, they are greeted with fresh opportunities and the chance to explore uncharted territories of knowledge. With hearts full of anticipation, our students arrive ready to challenge themselves, to inspire one another, and to establish meaningful new connections.

And, isn’t empowering students what Converse is all about? Students are the driving force behind our campus’s spirit, progress, and success. Their active involvement in various aspects of campus life contributes to a dynamic and transformative educational environment. From their diverse perspectives to their groundbreaking ideas, Converse students are game-changers and their personalized education is at the heart of everything we do.
In the week leading up to Move-in Day, I had the privilege of interviewing 23-24 Student Government President, Jasmyn Williams ’24 in our newest video series, The 580 Exchange. I encourage you to take a moment to discover what Jasmyn has to say about leadership, advocacy, and leaving a legacy.
And, as always, I hope you will continue to stay connected with Converse. Whether by playing in our upcoming golf tournament, attending one of the Carlos Moseley Series concerts, or by supporting Rock the Tower, Converse’s annual day of giving – your commitment to Converse empowers students to become transformative leaders who see clearly, decide wisely, and act justly.
