Workshops and Events
Focus Friday
“When we write for others, we engage in conversation with our readers. When we write
with others, we work with colleagues toward a common product. And when we write among
others, we create a community of writers.”
-Helen Sword, Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write.
Having a community of writers can provide accountability, motivation, and encouragement for the long process of thesis or dissertation work. To help grow these communities, the Writing Center in Wilson Hall (1-114) is open every Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and invites graduate students and faculty to write among others. Drop in at any point and stay as long as it feels productive. The coffee is free and there are snacks on the first Friday of the month. A Writing Center tutor is available to answer questions or provide feedback as needed.
