Student Activities

  • 9/30 Start the Week Off Write Retreats - Writing Center

    By popular demand, we are extending our "Start the Semester Off Write" into a weekly program called "Start the Week Off Write." All graduate students are welcome! 

    Modeled after our own successful weekend writing retreats and boot camps, but on a smaller scale, these weekly, shorter retreats feature a space to write and an excuse to do it. The Writing Center recognizes that writing in big bursts of energy can be helpful–but that smaller, weekly commitments can develop good writing habits that carry you through the semester. We challenge you to commit to two hours of early morning Monday writing to start the week off right.

    Simply writing in the presence of others can bring a surprising sense of solidarity and productivity. Arrive with the project you are working on now and your laptop, along with any notes or books you need. There will not be any tutoring available or any lectures. No need to sign up; just come in! Hot beverages are provided for these shorter retreats so please bring a re-usable cup of your choice!
