CAMWS

Classical Association of the Middle West & South

Where classical scholarship finds its community.

For more than a century, teachers and scholars of Latin and Greek have gathered through CAMWS. This concept imagines the next chapter: one clear path from joining, to renewing, to sharing your research at the spring meeting.

Our mission

Research, teaching, and outreach — held together.

  • Research

    Two respected journals and a meeting where new work in Greek and Roman antiquity is first heard.

  • Teaching

    Resources, colleagues and recognition for Latin and Greek educators from middle school to graduate seminar.

  • Outreach

    Programs that keep the ancient world present in classrooms and communities across the region.

A single path

Join. Renew. Submit your abstract.

  1. I

    Join

    Pick student, educator or institutional membership in three short steps.

  2. II

    Renew

    Members see status and renew from one place, no hunting for forms.

  3. III

    Submit

    Propose a paper for the spring meeting with clear guidance and validation.

Before & after

From scattered tasks to one journey

An illustrative comparison prepared for this proposal — not an audit of the current CAMWS website.

Typical legacy pattern

  • Membership form on one page, payment on another
  • Renewal reminders that link to a generic homepage
  • Meeting program as a downloadable PDF
  • Abstract submission by email attachment
  • No single view of one's own membership

Proposed cohesive journey

  • Guided three-step join and renew
  • Status and renewal in a member portal
  • Searchable, filterable program with bookmarks
  • Validated online abstract submission
  • Consistent, accessible design across every step

For graduate students & early-career scholars

Your first conference paper deserves a welcoming room.

CAMWS has long made space for graduate students to present, publish and find mentors. The concept puts that welcome front and center.
