CMRS-CEGS provides support for MEMSA, an interdisciplinary student organization that aims to foster connections and community among diverse graduate students from various departments and programs (including Asian Languages and Cultures, African Studies, American Indian Studies, Latin American Studies, Spanish, Gender Studies, Comparative Literature, Linguistics, English, etc.) studying topics from late antiquity through the end of the seventeenth century. MEMSA annually hosts panels and workshops on professional development, scholarly topics, and research methods. Importantly, MEMSA also organizes extracurricular activities for its graduate students, including social events and group museum visits. Together with CMRS-CEGS, MEMSA organizes a yearly student conference, with the next conference in the works for Spring Quarter 2025. MEMSA’s mission as an organization is to provide a space to support students’ professional and personal well-being.
