The Writing Center's 3-day retreats focus on providing accountability and support for participants to get their writing done. Maintaining momentum on your  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. These sessions do not contain writing instruction, but instead offer a space to sit, concentrate, and write.

Cost: FREE for ALL UConn graduate students and undergraduates with the Honors Program
