Graduate students invited to join a writing group, attend weekly research, writing event

A semester-long writing group can help you maintain a healthy writing routine and progress on your current writing projects, such as your dissertation, thesis, ePortfolio or piece for publication. Participants will check in with their group members each week during June and July to share their weekly writing goals, reflect on their writing progress and challenges and encourage each other.

The deadline to register for the summer semester is May 28. When you register via Qualtrics you can specify whether you have already formed a writing group that you’d like to continue with the support of University Writing, or whether you would like to be matched with other writers across the university.

Additionally, graduate writers that would benefit from writing in the company of other students with expert assistance on hand are encouraged to consider signing up for the Graduate Research and Writing Studio. This weekly writing retreat will run every Tuesday between May 23 to July 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. in RBD Library’s Newspaper Reading Room. The Studio will offer a sense of community, access to a research librarian and a graduate writing consultant and light refreshments, all to help you achieve your writing goals. The Graduate Research and Writing Studio is a program sponsored by the Libraries and by University Writing.

Complete this survey by May 20 to register for the program.
