The MRG, founded over twenty years ago, continues its successful program of meetings at the homes of members on Friday evenings, featuring a pot-luck supper followed by a presentation or discussion. The group's purpose is to provide an informal environment for an exchange of ideas on a wide range of medieval topics and for the presentation of conference papers or works in progress in a friendly atmosphere. It facilitates informal interaction among University of Minnesota medievalists from all the departments associated with the Center and those at neighboring institutions.

The MEMRG, made up mainly of graduate students from the English Department, has organized and currently maintains the CMS Library. The group has in the past invited speakers and organized various social events for graduate students. For further information contact cmedst@umn.edu.
