Dissertation Writers’ Retreats

Fall Dissertation Writers’ Retreat

October 24-25, 2019

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.        

Sponsored by the Graduate School and

the College of Arts and Science Dean’s Office.

Over Fall Break, the Writing Studio will host a two-day dissertation writers’ retreat, which will provide dissertating graduate students with loosely-structured time to work individually in a quiet, collegial atmosphere. We will couple ample writing time with optional, one-on-one consultations and daily workshops. Lunch will be provided each day.

Deadline: A link to the application can be found here. Please be sure to complete the application no later than October 4.

Space in the retreat is limited. We use your answers to these questions to select those applicants who seem most ready to benefit from the retreat’s format of loosely structured writing time. Those selected to participate will be invited by October 11, and asked to confirm their attendance by October 18.
