The Converse College for Women(CCW) is an empowering living-learning community for undergraduate female students that focuses on mentorship, service, and leadership. As a sisterhood that spans more than one hundred and thirty years, our purpose is to live out our Founder’s Ideal to see clearly, decide wisely, and act justly.
