Remember the “real clients” we mentioned in our last post? Well, the thing about having real clients is, sometimes they carry out the recommendations you just spent months putting together for them! The City of Greenfield is using the bike network plan developed by Conway students over the winter term to apply for grant funding for implementation, as well as to help them prioritize initiatives. Read the whole article in the and tune in to tomorrow’s presentations to find out what the spring project teams are doing! .wild

Conway students work with real clients, and they are included in the process from the beginning. This means that presentations can’t happen once a project is complete, but instead are done partway through the project to better reflect the professional iterative design process. As a result, students are already familiar with this process when they transition into a career path after Conway. If you want to see what that’s like in action, join us on Zoom this Friday! Registration link in bio.

At Conway we don’t train students for any one career path. Instead we give them a set of knowledge and skill sets that they can apply in many different professional directions. Thanks to David Grist ‘18 and Brett Towle ‘23 for their presentation yesterday on one version of what life post-Conway can be: a professional design collective in Burlington VT!

Rain? What rain? ☔🎺

The Conway Krewe showed UP at .oyster.bar last Thursday for a packed house full of good people, great Cajun food, and plenty of community spirit. From gumbo to po’boys to jambalaya, every delicious bite helped support Conway students and the communities they serve.

Huge thanks to everyone who braved the weather, brought friends, raised a glass, and helped make the night such a success — and to the amazing team at GOMBO for their incredible generosity.

Y’all brought the Big Easy energy to Northampton and reminded us what the Conway community looks like: warm, joyful, generous, and ready to dance through the storm. ⚜️🌧️

🚨 Final push for Conway Grows 🚨

We’re SO close.

Just 14 more donors to reach — and about $20,000 left to meet our annual fund goal.

This community has already shown up in a big way for Conway students and the real-world work they do alongside communities across New England. Let’s carry that momentum across the finish line.

Every gift supports hands-on ecological design education focused on climate resilience, conservation, housing, food systems, and community well-being.

If Conway has ever meant something to you, now’s the time to show it.

Give today. Share the campaign. Help us finish strong.
