The CGC Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Summer Institute due to likely travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). We regret the need to cancel the event and will refund any registration fees already paid.

2020 CGC Summer Institute

Duquesne University
Pittsburgh, PA

June 18 – 20, 2020

Meeting Graduate Communicators Where They Are

We are pleased to announce the 2020 Consortium on Graduate Communication Summer Institute (SI) to be held on the campus of Duquesne University, located above the Monongahela river just blocks from downtown Pittsburgh.

The CGC Board is actively monitoring the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak and its  potential impact on our Summer Institute (SI). The board will make a decision on the 2020 SI  by May 26, 2020, and, if it is necessary to cancel the conference, the CGC will refund any registration fees already paid in a timely manner.  Please note that May 26, 2020 precedes the deadline to register for the conference and the deadline for conference hotel and dormitory reservations. In the meantime, we invite you to continue reading and submit a proposal.

The 5th Summer Institute focuses on Meeting Graduate Communicators Where They Are. As with previous summer institutes, we will accept proposals for works-in-progress presentations, short presentations on graduate communication pedagogical strategies, programmatic initiatives, and scholarship followed by rich discussion. We also invite participants to propose graduate communication workshops, special-interest networking sessions, and lightning rounds. Communication workshops allow participants to share nuts-and-bolts approaches to written and oral communication support. Special-interest networking sessions provide opportunities for participants to explore focused topics of interest with colleagues, and lightning rounds bring innovation, creativity, and sometimes humor to the Institute.

Duquesne University is adjacent to downtown Pittsburgh with its vibrant cultural life and attractions including the Andy Warhol Museum, the Carnegie Museum of Art, and Point State Park, along with its unique urban neighborhoods that invite exploration. We hope you can join us as we continue to build the field of Graduate Communication.

Travel Scholarships
