Carving out time to do serious academic writing during the semester can be tough. The Writing Center’s Graduate Writing Retreats are here to help!

The Writing Center holds a 1-day retreat to focus on writing during the semester. The goal of this initiative is to provide accountability and support for participants to get writing done. This sessions is not writing instruction; instead, we will sit in a room together and write.

We encourage you to stay all day, but you're welcome to also drop in and out as your schedule permits.

Cost: FREE for UConn graduate students (but you must register below)

Activities

All of the activities on the schedule are completely optional, and you are welcome to come in and out during the day.

1-hour lunch break 12pm – 1pm
Coffee and snacks will be provided

Focus Sessions
We use a variation of the Pomodoro Technique. Basically, we set a timer, write for 50 minutes, then take a 10 minute break. The goal of the focus sessions is to set a short and achievable task for yourself and then get it done within the next hour by holding yourself accountable.
