Events and Workshops
On-going Fall 2025
Graduate Writing Circle (in-person)
Wednesdays, from 1 to 4 p.m. (September 24 through December 3)
West Walwood Hall Lobby (outside of the Graduate College entrance)
The Graduate College is offering a Writing Circle this fall to assist 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 for three hours over the semester. 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 will launch on Wednesday, Sept. 24, and we will continue meeting weekly through Wednesday, Dec. 3 for Fall 2025 (exceptions: Fall Break, Oct. 15; Thanksgiving Break, Nov. 26).
