Graduate Writing Retreat and Summer Writing Support
May 16, 2023
Dear Graduate Student,
Are you writing your capstone, thesis, dissertation, prospectus, or qualifying papers this summer? Join us for the Graduate Writing Retreat for dedicated writing time, space, and camaraderie!
Graduate Writing Retreat
June 5 - 9, 2023
9 a.m. – 1 p.m. each day
In-person on the Medford campus
Space is Limited. Apply by May 30!
Graduate Writing Retreats are week-long, writing-intensive events designed to help graduate students make significant progress on their thesis, dissertation, qualifying papers, or related independent projects. Graduate writing retreats provide a supportive environment where you can learn and practice healthy writing habits and focus on your writing. Each retreat includes weekly and daily goal-setting, dedicated writing time, and the opportunity for feedback from graduate writing consultants as desired.
Please note: Goal-setting, planning, and feedback are part of the retreat, but this is not a writing class. The majority of the time will be spent quietly writing. Participants must plan to work on a thesis, dissertation, qualifying papers, or similar longer, independent project during the retreat.
Register for the retreat!
Additional summer writing support
If you are looking for an individual writing appointment, would like to meet weekly with a writing consultant in the summer, and/or are not yet writing a thesis, please visit Tutor Finder or email Kristina.Aikens@tufts.edu to be matched with a writing consultant. We do offer summer consultations!
If you are seeking a writing class or workshop series, please submit our summer writing support inquiry form or email Kristina.Aikens@tufts.edu to discuss how we can support you!
Sponsored by the StAAR Center. We offer one-on-one writing consultations (even in the summer) and workshops during the academic year. Another Graduate Writing Retreat will be held in August.
