Graduate Student Services

Sit Down and Write! Sit Down and Write! (SDW!) sessions are designed as mini-writing retreats for those of you who are composing high-stakes documents, (e.g., proposals, practicums, grant proposals, theses, dissertations, and peer-reviewed publications). This is an accountability program to provide a distraction-free environment for composing in the company of like-tasked graduate students. Note: These are NOT instructional sessions; these are productivity sessions.

This fall SDW! is offered on the following Saturdays from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM in the Joan Rosen Writing Studio, 212 Kresge Library:

• • September 28
  • October 12 and 26
  • November 9 and 23 

 To register for one or both of these sessions, see SDW! F24 Registration Form.

If you need more than accountability, such as support for specific tasks like  publishing during graduate school, drafting your IRB, composing a grant proposal, representing the results of your statistical analyses, avoiding plagiarism or copyright infringement, and/or storing your data to protect its integrity and your participants' privacy, you should join us (F2F or online) for one of more of our workshops. If you have an idea for a workshop, please email [email protected].
