College of Arts and Science

Dissertation Writers’ Mini-Retreat

March 7-8, 2016

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Sponsored by College of Arts and Science Dean’s Office

Over the first two days of Spring Break, the Vanderbilt Writing Studio will be hosting a Dissertation Writers’ Mini-Retreat.  It will provide dissertating graduate students in the College of Arts and Science with loosely-structured time to work individually in a quiet, collegial atmosphere.  We will couple ample writing time with optional, one-on-one consultations and daily workshops meant to focus writers on their argumentation and writing process. Lunch will be provided each day, courtesy of the College of Arts and Science Dean’s Office.

To apply, please complete the following form by 9:00am, Friday, February 19.

Space in the retreat is limited. We use your answers to these questions to select those applicants who seem most ready to benefit from the retreat’s format of loosely structured writing time.

Questions should be sent to the Director of the Writing Studio at gary.a.jaeger@vanderbilt.edu.
