Summer Graduate Writing Accountability Group: First Meeting

Content

Do you have ambitious writing plans for the summer? Maybe you’re tackling your comprehensive exams, drafting or revising an article for publication, or plugging away on your dissertation. No matter what you’re working on, you don’t have to go it alone! Experts agree that having a form of social accountability is a best practice for academic writing. 

In this Graduate Writing Accountability Group (WAG) we’ll meet for one hour, once a week to reflect on the previous week and set goals for the week ahead. We will meet in person from 10-11am (followed by an optional hour of on-site co-writing) on Thursdays between June 26 and August 14—that’s 8 weeks of writing accountability! Participants in the WAG must commit to attending the majority of meetings; exceptions can be made for occasional absences.

OPD events are open to current UMass graduate students and postdocs. Register here!
