  • 5/16 Dissertation Boot Camp for Graduate Students

    Dissertation Boot Camp for Graduate Students over Spring Break

    May 16th through 19th

    9am - 4pm each day

    Oak Hall, room 236

    Just after the end of the academic year, the Writing Center will offer a four-day writing retreat for graduate students who want to finish up their projects or get a head-start on summer writing. We will provide the coffee and the momentum to help you continue the productivity of the semester heading into the summer break.

    At this boot camp, we are also offering a series of brief seminars on academic writing. Each day, we will be talking about specific topics related to getting a dissertation proposed, written, and polished. The seminars will run for roughly 45 minutes each day during the lunch, and are completely optional.


    Space is limited; to reserve your spot and to create an incentive for you to write for each of the four days, you must register by through Eventbrite and submit a $50 deposit check by May 12th. If you attend each day, you get your check back, uncashed.
