Carolyn R. Hodges, vice provost and dean of the graduate school, has been elected to a three-year term on the executive committee of the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools (CSGS).
The organization, which had its annual meeting last week in Savannah, Ga., is comprised of over 200 graduate schools in fifteen states located in the southern region of the United States. Its purpose is to exchange ideas and information about graduate education and research, to promote standards and support activities of mutual interest to the member institutions, and to serve as a liaison with other national and regional educational organizations. Hodges will also serve the next academic year as president of the Tennessee Conference of Graduate Schools.
