3-day Writing Retreat for Graduate Students

The 3-Day retreat will be held from November 21st through the 23rd, from 10:00am to 6:00pm EST at Homer Babbidge Library, Room 1102

REGISTER BELOW!

Maintaining momentum on your dissertation or graduate writing projects can be tough, but making a commitment to structured writing time can help. Writing in the presence of others brings a sense of solidarity and productivity that get you through the complex challenges of large projects. For these reasons, the Writing Center sponsors three-day writing retreats to get serious productivity done.

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.

Feel free to email gradwriting@uconn.edu with any questions about the event. Hope to see you there!
