Weekly Writing Groups

The Writing Center’s writing groups offer weekly time for graduate students to devote to working on their dissertations, theses, or other significant graduate-level writing projects in a supportive environment. Benefits to participating in the Writing Center’s writing group program include access to structured time to facilitate progress on their writing projects, and a community of supportive peers. Participants will see the most benefits if they commit to the group at the beginning of the semester and attend every meeting. Upon registration, participants will receive additional details, including a link for meeting online.

Spring 2025 Graduate Writing Groups

The Writing Center is hosting two virtual writing groups for spring 2025 (via Zoom):

Writing Together–A Group for All Graduate Student Writers

Beginning February 21 on Fridays, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

This writing group will meet weekly on Zoom for writers who want the accountability and camaraderie of writing together. The group will not feature a common reader or weekly presentations, although if participants are interested in short discussions of writing topics, that is a possibility. Participants in this group should expect to spend most of the two-hour block working on their own writing projects, with brief check-ins at the start and close of each session.
