Are you working on your dissertation, thesis, publications or papers? Join us for the August Writing Retreat—a four-day, in-person event designed to give you the time, space and support to focus on your academic writing. Each day kicks off with a quick, practical session on topics like writing strategies, overcoming procrastination and building sustainable habits. Then we dive into independent writing time. A Writing Center consultant will be available for one-on-one feedback on your work. Start your fall semester strong, build momentum and make real progress on your writing goals. 

Coffee and light breakfast provided for those who RSVP (space is limited).
