The Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) is the leading national organization dedicated to advancing graduate education and research in the United States. With a focus on innovation, advocacy, and best practices, CGS serves as the voice of the graduate dean community for over six decades. CGS organizes major events that bring together graduate deans and stakeholders to discuss and take action on a wide range of issues affecting graduate education today.

Their membership offers institutions and organizations opportunities to engage with an active community, exchange information and resources, and access data analysis and best practice expertise. Institutional membership is available to universities and colleges significantly engaged in graduate education, while the Sustaining Membership Network connects member universities with industry and non-profit leaders to foster meaningful partnerships. International membership is open to higher education institutions committed to excellence in graduate education.

CGS also focuses on important projects such as graduate student mental health and well-being, social justice and anti-racism, and preparing graduate students for the ethical challenges of big data. Join CGS and be part of their efforts to shape the future of graduate education
