  • 10/3 All-Day Graduate Writing Retreat

    On Saturday, October 3rd, the UConn Writing Center will offer a day-long
    writing retreat for graduate students.

    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 after Stanford University's
    dissertation boot camp and the UConn faculty writing retreats, the Writing
    Center & the Graduate Student Senate are sponsoring a day for graduate
    students to write. Simply writing in the presence of others can bring a
    surprising sense of solidarity and productivity. Arrive with the project
    you are working on, your laptop, and any notes or books you may need. Bring
    your own lunch, or plan to buy on campus. Coffee and tea will be provided.

    There will not be any tutoring or any lectures. This is simply a space to
    write among colleagues and friends and share the motivation of the group
    effort.

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