2025 New Year’s Message from President Hopkins

Hello from Converse! Every New Year, millions of us look forward to the promise of new beginnings. New Year’s isn’t just a countdown to midnight; it’s a time to pause and reflect on where we’ve been and how we’ve grown. 

Whether maintaining excellence in academic programs, investing in campus improvements, providing scholarships, or responding to unforeseen challenges, donor contributions are essential. 

While we work towards building a vibrant, sustainable future, your gifts bridge the gap between when tuition revenue ends in early February and running the institution through the end of the fiscal year.

Simply put, your steadfast commitment ensures that generations of students experience the power of a Converse education — now and forever.

Here’s to another year of inspiring creativity, innovation, and transformation. May we continue to build a bright future for Converse together.

President Boone J. Hopkins
