Thesis Writing Retreat
Monday, Dec. 9, 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
Online; in person
Completing a thesis is easier with a regular schedule and the support of a writing group. The Writing Centre and the School of Graduate Studies are pleased to host two 5-day thesis retreats for graduate students, offering three hours of writing each day. Session 1 will take place from December 9-13, 2024, and Session 2 will run from January 6-10, 2025. If you’re looking for distraction-free time to work and can commit to 5 days of consistent writing, this retreat is for you!

Registration
Students may attend both sessions but must register for each session individually.
If the desired session’s in-person link is full, please use the Online/In-person Waitlist link for the same session and click “YES” when asked if you would like to be added to the waitlist. You will be contacted IF an in-person space becomes available. Participants who are not promoted to the in-person group by the first day of the session are strongly encouraged to participate online. Please note that registering through a different link while stating that you want a specific in-person session will result in the cancellation of your application.
