Graduate Student Writing Retreat

Friday, May 15, 2026 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Join us for this one-day, in-person writing retreat designed to help graduate students make focused, tangible progress on their thesis, dissertation, and other important projects in a distraction-free environment.

Participants will clarify writing goals, learn practical strategies for overcoming common barriers, such as perfectionism, procrastination, writer’s block, and engage in structured writing.

The retreat emphasizes sustainable writing habits, peer support, and planning so gains made during the day carry forward into participants’ regular routines.
