Join us for the August Writing Retreat—a four-day, in-person event designed to give you the time, space and support to focus on your academic writing. Each day kicks off with a quick, practical session on topics like writing strategies, overcoming procrastination and building sustainable habits. Then we dive into independent writing time. A Writing Center consultant will be available for one-on-one feedback on your work. Start your fall semester strong, build momentum and make real progress on your writing goals.Ìý
