Graduate Writing Retreat During Spring Break
Dear graduate students,
Are you stuck on that seminar paper? Need to make progress on your dissertation? Come by the Writing Center for our FREE 3-day writing retreat during Wednesday/Thursday/Friday of spring break. Most who come to these retreats find that dedicating time to work in the solidarity with other writers results in a real productivity boost. You are welcome to join for some or all of the retreat. See the details here: https://writingcenter.uconn.edu/3-day-retreats/. Let's get unblocked together!
Love,
The Writing Center
Never been to our center before? Here's what you do
If you've never been to the Writing Center before, click the "Make an Appointment" button and follow the link there to register an account--it's quick and free. Then you can schedule an appointment, and as part of that you select in-person or online, and choose 30 minutes or 60 minutes. You can also walk in, but we can't guarantee that we'll be able to assist every walk-in immediately.
Consider the Writing Minor
This is not an English or creative writing or literature minor (though it can included those). Instead it is a writing minor, defined broadly: writing in the sciences, writing for fun, writing for social change, writing for research, writing for a career, writing technologies, and more. It has a super-flexible structure that involves taking 1 gateway course, Introduction to Writing Studies, and 4 electives from dozens of departments. You may even have already taken one or more of those electives. Check! If you decide you want to do it, you don't need any approvals--all you need to do is fill out an online form here.
