Events and Workshops
On-going Spring 2026
Graduate Writing Circle Drop-In (in-person & virtual)
Wednesdays, from 1 to 4 p.m. (January 21 through April 29, 2026 with the exception of March 11 for Spring Break)
West Walwood Hall Lobby (outside of the Graduate College entrance)
Drop-In Writing Circle assists graduate students who are seeking accountability, community, and a dedicated space to work on their dissertation or thesis projects or to work on class papers and projects. Participants gather weekly. This is an accountability group, not a peer review session, and as such offers support for your writing process. Free coffee and snacks are provided.
The first session launched Wednesday, Jan. 21, and will continue meeting weekly through Wednesday, April 29 for Spring 2026 (exceptions: Spring Break, March 11). Signup to attend here.
We also offer drop-in hours virtually on Wednesdays starting 1 to 4 p.m. Join each week as you are able.
