Dear Graduate Student,

The registration deadline for the Graduate Writing Retreat is coming up: December 15.

Are you writing a thesis, dissertation, prospectus, capstone, or qualifying papers over winter break? Join us for dedicated writing time and space at the Graduate Writing Retreat, January 5–8, 2026!

Graduate Writing Retreats are week-long, writing-intensive programs designed to help you make progress on your independent writing projects (thesis, dissertation, qualifying papers, or related projects). Join us for some focused writing time before classes start up.

During the academic semester, the Student Accessibility and Academic Resources (StAAR) Center offers individual writing consultations, academic success coaching, and workshops, including one on starting the thesis process. Email Kristina.Aikens@tufts.edu with any questions or for more information about how we can support your writing goals.

We look forward to working with you!

Sincerely,

Kristina Aikens
Senior Associate Director, Writing Support
StAAR Center
