Conference of Southern Graduate Schools CSGS Join us in New Orleans, Louisiana for the 44th Conference of Southern Graduate Schools Annual Meeting! Steeped in a history of influences such as Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa, you can experience the uniqueness of Zydeco music, Cajun foods, and Creole cultures only found here in one of the most fascinating of America’s cities. It is the only U.S. city where French was the predominant language for more than a century. Much of its history can still be visible in its old landmarks or grandiose plantations. Enjoy a Breakfast at Brennan’s, a ride on the St. Charles Streetcar, or take a stroll down the world famous Bourbon Street. These are all New Orleans traditions that you will want to take part in when you arrive! Crescent City awaits, so mark your calendar and make your plans to attend your CSGS Conference this year!
