2022 CGC Summer Institute (Virtual)

Expanding Perspectives in Graduate Communication 

Virtual | June 14-16, 2022

The program for the 2022 Summer Institute is now available here.

We are pleased to announce the 2022 Consortium on Graduate Communication Virtual Summer Institute, which will focus on Expanding Perspectives in Graduate Communication. Expanding perspectives encompasses our perennial work to hold space for all those working to support graduate students as communicators and our ongoing individual efforts to respond to the challenges of a global pandemic. Expanding perspectives also gives us the exciting opportunity to use the online conference format to learn from and build relationships with our graduate communication colleagues beyond North America. We thus hope to maximize the involvement of our colleagues around the globe who may be in a better position to participate in a virtual program than an in-person Summer Institute. We also invite discussions of lessons learned and better practices that have emerged as silver linings during our pandemic experiences as we have taught and delivered graduate communication support in virtual, hybrid, and back-to-face-to-face formats. Finally, we expect to further important conversations in the graduate communication field around supporting increasingly diverse graduate student populations and aligning graduate communication support with socially just outcomes. The CGC Summer Institute puts an emphasis on rich conversation, providing opportunities to discuss the growing professional field of graduate communication and share strategies for providing graduate communication support.
