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's 1-day retreats focus on providing accountability and support for participants to get their writing done. These sessions do not contain writing instruction, but instead offer a space to sit, concentrate, and write.

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

Activities

  • Coffee and refreshments are provided throughout the day.
  • First session: 10:00am-1:00pm
    • When you arrive sign in and complete a quick goal setting exercise.
  • Lunch break and group check in: 1:00 pm – 2:00pm
    • Lunches are free.
  • Second session: 2:00pm-5:00pm

Winter weather back up plan

Inclement weather is a part of life here in the Northeastern United States, and for Februarys in particular. If unsafe weather conditions occur on one of the above dates, the back up plan is to meet up virtually. You will receive an invitation to join two sessions via Webex that will still take place from 10am - 1pm and 2pm-5pm.
