Joint CSGS/CHBGS Virtual Conference & Joint CSGS/CHBGS Monthly Forum Series
Out of an abundance of caution and in light of travel restrictions, the CSGS Executive Committee has decided to cancel the in-person CSGS Annual Meeting originally scheduled for February 2021. Please mark your calendars for the CSGS/CHBGS joint, abridged virtual conference February 23-26, 2021. The conference will include some presentations, panel discussions, an awards ceremony, a virtual 3MT, and our business meeting. The next in-person CSGS Annual Meeting will be held Feb 17-20, 2022 at the Raleigh Marriott City Center. Please save the date! In order to help our membership cope with the current pandemic and its impact on graduate education, we have created a monthly CSGS/CHGBS Forum Series. Once a month via Zoom, CSGS/CHGBS will host a lunch-time forum that focuses on a current challenge facing graduate schools and campuses across the region. Members will have the opportunity to submit discussion questions, contribute to the conversation, or simply hear potential solutions being pursued on other campuses. Recordings of past forum presentations are included at the bottom of the page.

2021 JOINT CSGS AND CHBGS VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
“THE FUTURE OF GRADUATE EDUCATION”
Tuesday, Feb 23 – Friday, Feb 26, 2021
At a time when the future of work requires higher levels of education and training, graduate education faces the challenges of reduced budgets, rising tuition, and waning public trust. Yet, opportunities abound as well. Among these, advances in technology foster innovative program delivery and improved access; and prospects for interdisciplinary scholarship broaden students’ experiences. To remain relevant in today’s climate, graduate education must adapt proactively by confronting today’s challenges and embracing new opportunities. Thus, the 2021 CSGS and CHBGS Virtual Conference is themed “The Future of Graduate Education.” The meeting agenda is filled with plenary talks, break-out sessions, and table-top discussions focusing on the future of STEM and Humanities education, emerging legal issues in higher education, the future of graduate admissions decisions and graduate student experiences, and more. Continuing the engagement of graduate students, which began at the 2020 joint conference, the meeting includes professional development programming for graduate students. The highly-anticipated Three Minute Thesis competition will showcase graduate student research and communication skills. We hope to “see” you at the virtual conference February 23-26, 2021.
