Writing Sprints

What's a Writing Sprint?

Writing Sprints are short blocks of time in which you commit to focus only on your writing. They're hosted by the GWCC in the new Graduate Center (Ewell 250). You’re welcome to come once, or come every week! We provide a friendly and supportive, yet quiet atmosphere, plus the coffee/tea and snacks that are always available in the Grad Center. You bring your laptop and a can-do attitude! See the schedule below. RSVP using this form to let us know you're coming, or just show up!.

If you're trying to make progress on an article, dissertation, or other big project, but would benefit from some quiet camaraderie, and a structured time to focus on your writing, we welcome you to join! Our goal is to provide a time and space for graduate students to set writing goals and work without interruption in a supportive environment. A GWCC consultant will host the session.
