Special Events and Receptions

  • 11/7 Saturday Graduate Writing Retreat

    The UConn Writing Center is pleased to offer a Saturday writing retreat for graduate students who want to dedicate a day (or half a day) to making significant progress on their projects.

    Writing in the presence of others can bring a surprising sense of solidarity and productivity. No tutoring, no instruction, just you, your project, and dozens of other graduate students doing the same hard work. This is simply a space to write among colleagues and friends and share the motivation of the group effort.

    Arrive with the project you are working on, your laptop, and any notes or books you may need. Bring a lunch or plan to buy on campus, but we'll provide the coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other fuel. (GSS has generously provided the funding to keep you writing all day.)

    Write. Drink coffee. Write more. Feel good about all of the writing you got done.
