Registration for the Writing Accountability Group
Coffee and light snacks will be provided!
Whether you are working on a thesis, dissertation, grant proposal, course paper, portfolio, or even just keeping up with emails, graduate school involves a lot of writing! The University Writing Center and the Graduate School are offering a new opportunity to support your writing through a Weekly Graduate Writing Group. This will be a dedicated space and time each week where you can meet up with other graduate students and get some of your writing done in community with others. Dr. Emily Bouza from the UWC will facilitate this group, including goal setting activities to help you use your time within and beyond the group well to complete the many daunting projects of graduate school.
