The majority of the retreat will be dedicated to writing in a quiet, structured environment (alongside other scholars) with the intention of helping you make actual progress towards the completion of your seminar paper, thesis, dissertation, publication, and/or fellowship application.

Make sure to bring your current writing project, research, and/or data sets.

A limited number of one-on-one appointments will also be available to the first 15 registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are one of these early registrants, you will be contacted ahead of time to schedule your writing consultation based on your preferred modality (in-person, asynchronous, or via Zoom).

Light snacks will be provided throughout the day. Lunch is *not* included.

This retreat is particularly helpful for graduate students who are behind on their project or who want to maximize their break and get ahead.

Feel free to send any comments, concerns, or questions to writing@slu.edu.
