Writing Retreat - August 2024

May 27, 28, 29, 30, 2024
8:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. each day
UMC, Room 247

Let’s kick off the semester productively with our August Writing Retreat! Join other graduate students and hold each other accountable during our boot camp that will provide the time, space, and community needed to focus on your academic writing, giving you momentum to stay on track through the summer.  

We highly recommend you attend all four days of this in-person retreat if possible. We will begin each morning with a brief programming from 8:30 – 9:00 a.m. Topics for this retreat will include writing tips and tricks from the Writing Center, building sustainable habits, campus resources, etc. These are meant to offer tips to motivate you towards accomplishing your writing goals. The rest of the time will be dedicated to writing independently from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. A writing consultant from the Writing Center will also be available for one-on-one meetings to workshop papers, chapters of dissertations and theses, or other drafts.

If you are having trouble making dedicated time for your writing, this writing retreat is for you!

Coffee and light breakfast will be provided for those that RSVP. We hope you can attend all four days of the retreat. 

Open to ALL graduate students! 

*Please note a location change: the retreat will now take place in UMC, Room 247 due to construction disruption in CASE.
