The UConn Writing Center invites you to "Start the Semester Off Write" with
short, Monday-morning writing retreats.
Modeled after our own successful Saturday writing retreats and dissertation
boot camps, these weekly 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 help form good
writing habits throughout the semester. Simply writing in the presence of
others can bring a surprising sense of solidarity and productivity.
Our first retreat was Monday August 31st, and three more retreats remain.
You do not have to sign up for all three retreats to participate, but we
challenge you do make the commitment to start the semester off strong.
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 or any lectures
at these sessions.
Please bring your own coffee, and if you’d like, a snack for you and a
snack to share! Coffee and tea are not provided at these retreats,but the
Music and Dramatic Arts Library is directly across from Dog Lane Cafe, so
you can grab a coffee on the way in and even park for free for 2 hours
behind Storrs Center.

When: Mondays, 9 – 11 a.m., for three more weeks
9/14, 9/21, 9/28 (no retreat on Labor Day, 9/7)
