Conference Overview

The Executive Committee has planned a compelling meeting program for graduate deans, assistant/associate deans, and other academic and administrative professionals. In addition to our yearly awards ceremony and popular hot topics and flash talks sessions, this year’s plenary sessions include:

  • Graduate Study in the Age of Commoditized Intelligence
  • Tracking, Connecting, and Bridging: Doctoral Career Pathways
  • Building Public Trust in Graduate Education through Experiential Learning
  • More Than Students: Navigating Learning, Labor and Life in Graduate School
  • Keynote presentation from the President of the Council of Graduate Schools

We have included ample opportunities throughout the meeting to network with colleagues and enjoy Montreal in the spring. A final agenda will be available in late Feb.
