Mission Statement

The Council of Graduate Students (CGS) is the recognized governing council for the graduate students at the University of Missouri -- Rolla (UMR). Our mission is to work to maximize the quality of life, develop leadership skills, and foster high academic standards for the graduate student community at UMR. We do this through cooperation with UMR administration, faculty, and the students to insure that the needs of graduate students are understood and considered when campus policies concerning academic excellence, tuition and finance, and research are made. CGS exists to share and discuss information important to all UMR graduate and professional students and to advocate for their interests in dealing with the University, its constituents, and all other appropriate entities.
