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.
- I
Join
Pick student, educator or institutional membership in three short steps.
- II
Renew
Members see status and renew from one place, no hunting for forms.
- 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
