FYE Blast Thursday, October 18, 5-7pm

If you still need to make an appointment for your FYE Critical Reflection Review, come to the Writing Center Thursday (10/18) between 5:00 and 7:00pm. No appointment necessary--single appointments are welcome! First come, first served!

FYE Students—Remember to Make Your Appointments in Pairs!

We always look forward to working on FYE papers, but remember to come with one of your classmates. Please have one person reserve an appointment, and that person should note the name of the other classmate in the pair in the “What do you want to work on?” field of the reservation system.

Policy on Tutoring Take-home Exams

We cannot tutor take-home exams unless the instructor clearly states in writing – on the syllabus or exam — that students may consult peers. Please bring this information with you to your appointment.

Day-Long Saturday Writing Retreat

Saturday, October 27th, 2018

10:00 AM - 05:00 PM

Storrs Campus
Augustus Storrs Hall, Widmer Wing, Rm. 16

***advance registration required***

Carving out time to do serious academic writing during the semester can be tough. But finding a place to do itâand a support network of fellow grad studentsâdoesnât have to be!
Modeled on Stanford Universityâs dissertation boot camp and UConn faculty writing retreats, the Writing Center and the Graduate Student Senate sponsor days to writeâcomplete with coffee in the mornings and afternoons, with an optional hour break for lunch. (Feel free to bring your own lunch and snacks.)
The goal of this initiative is to provide a distraction-free environment where participants can write. You should come prepared, bringing your notes, books, and laptops, so that you can spend the time getting words on the page. These sessions are not workshops, and no writing instruction will be provided.
We encourage you to stay all day, but half-day tickets are available, too.
Go to: http://writingcenter.uconn.edu/writing-retreats/ for registration information.
