The Writing Center’s writing groups offer weekly time for student writers to devote to working on their dissertations, theses, or other significant 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, advice from group leaders, and the company of 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, if applicable.
Fall 2025 Undergraduate Writing Groups
Senior Thesis Squad: A Writing Group for Undergrads
Calling all undergraduate thesis writers! The UD Writing Center is hosting a weekly on-campus writing group specifically for undergrad students working on senior thesis projects. This group is ideal for students who want to make steady progress on their thesis, no matter where they’re at in the process of developing their project. While this group does not focus on writing instruction and peer review, those activities can be added based on participant interest. Students who participate in writing groups report the most benefits when they attend regularly, so please plan to attend weekly.
Group Leader: Lauren
Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Writing Together: A Group for All UD Graduate Students

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. During Fall 2025, the Writing Center is offering two different days/times for graduate writers to choose from.
