CAMPUS AT A GLANCE (brief description)

Converse College has been preparing women to be strong leaders in their professions and in their communities for over 100 years. Here, women come first – in the classrooms, science labs, and music rehearsal halls; on our playing fields and in our student organizations. This commitment to our students ensures that throughout their Converse experience and beyond, they will be involved, prepared, and accomplished.

The College of Arts and Sciences offers 33 majors in fields from business, biology, and education to politics, theatre, and interior design. In each major, students are encouraged to perform independent research or creative work, internships, and honors work.

MORE ABOUT US (our partners, trips, structure, best or unique practices)

As part of your Annual Report 2008, we ask all campuses to add 1-2 paragraphs here that describe a few highlights of the programmatic activities from this year.  For instance, you may choose to capture an aspect of a very successful trip or a campus-wide service initiatives.  Or you may describe some key work you did with community partners, or your efforts to incorporate community-based research with faculty.  As part of your larger Campus Profile, these few paragraphs should provide a sense of elements that are particularly strong and/or unique about your Bonner Program.  You can delete this instruction text when you are done.
