The Writing Retreat brings graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all disciplines together for intensive days of dedicated writing time and support toward completing the dissertation or other manuscripts. The Retreat is also a platform for reflection and discussion about writing, which can help to improve writing skills and maintain a regular writing routine.
