Graduate Writing Circles (meets virtually every Thursday)
The Graduate College will continue providing a virtual graduate student Writing Circle during the Summer II 2022 session. The purpose of the writing circle is to provide community, accountability, and a dedicated time for students to gather virtually with peers to work independently. Students have shared that co-working has helped to increase their motivation and reduce a sense of isolation. Why not try it out? The virtual Writing Circle is on Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. ET.
Virtual Writing Circle - Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m. ET from Thursday, June 30 through Thursday, August 25 via Webex. Click the blue button to join at the appropriate time (no RSVP required).
