    Carving out time to do academic writing during the semester can be tough. But finding a place to do it--and a support network of fellow grad students--doesn't have to be!  Modeled on Stanford University's dissertation boot camp and the UConn faculty writing retreats, the Writing Center & Graduate Student Senate are sponsoring a day for graduate students to write, complete with coffee in the mornings and afternoons, with an hour break for lunch (bring or buy your own on campus).

    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.

    Come. Write. Drink Coffee.

    Write more. Period.

    PLEASE RESERVE YOUR SPOT HERE ASAP! http://uconngradretreatapril2014.eventbrite.com  Space is limited!
