Winter Break 2021 Virtual Graduate Student Writing Retreat
12/17/2020
Want to make actual progress towards the completion of your seminar paper, thesis, dissertation, publication, and/or fellowship application? University Writing Services will offer a free virtual writing retreat for all graduate students during winter break.
The retreat will take place Wednesday, Jan. 13 through Friday, Jan. 15 via Zoom.
This two-and-a-half-day retreat will increase graduate students' writing accountability especially when working remotely and/or in isolation. The facilitator will discuss different timed writing activities and provide content aimed to increase productivity while cultivating strong, disciplined writing habits.
Participants will learn new motivational strategies to combat procrastination especially during the holiday season. Come and write in a quiet, structured environment alongside other scholars.
The first 10 registrants will have the opportunity to schedule a 1-on-1 appointment and receive live or asynchronous feedback from an experienced writing consultant during the retreat. This is particularly helpful for graduate students who are behind on their project or who want to maximize their break and get ahead.
