    GRADUATE STUDENT WRITING RETREAT

    Storrs Hall, Widmer Wing (School of Nursing)

    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 -- is not! 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. 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, your laptop, and any notes or books you may need. Bring your own lunch, or plan to buy on campus.

     

    There will not be any tutoring or any lectures. This is simply a space to write.

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