NAGS resources are designed to strengthen graduate education and support the leaders who guide it.
Through the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition, member institutions showcase doctoral research excellence while helping students develop essential communication skills. Our Awards program highlights outstanding leadership and innovation in graduate education, celebrating the individuals and institutions that move the field forward.
NAGS also connects members to the broader national landscape through engagement with the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), ensuring access to policy updates, professional initiatives, and collaborative opportunities that shape graduate education nationwide.
Our Constitution and governing documents provide the foundation for transparent, collegial governance and sustained institutional partnership.
Together, these resources reflect the value of NAGS membership: a professional network committed to advancing excellence, recognition, and shared leadership in graduate education across the Northeast.
