Dissertation Retreats

Our next Graduate Writing Retreat will be offered during the Winter 2021 session, January 19-22. It will be an online retreat. 

Participants will engage in morning writing sessions 9am-12pm,  take a 12pm-1pm lunch break, then finish the day with a 1pm-3pm writing session. 

Register here for the Winter 2021 Graduate Writing Retreat.

Offered during Winter and Summer sessions, Dissertation Retreats all participants to devote a week to working on their dissertation in the writing center.

Participants spend a majority of their time writing; however the program sometimes also includes discussions on topics relevant to dissertations students, including motivation, goal setting, and time management. 

Participants benefit from the structure of daily writing sessions and the social support of other participants to facilitate progress on their dissertation. They do not receive feedback on their draft; rather, the Dissertation Retreat provides support for their writing process.
