Dissertation Writing Boot Camp

A week-long opportunity for students currently writing dissertations to set writing goals, practice disciplined writing habits, learn new strategies and connect with other dissertation writers.

What do participants do each day?

• Set SMART goals for the week before the camp begins and post those goals publicly.
• Arrive physically or virtually a few minutes before their camp begins.
• Spend a few minutes meeting other campers in discussing goals and plans for the day.
• Experiment with the daily writing strategy or explore a resource shared by a Writing Center staff member.
• Enjoy several blocks of uninterrupted writing time.
• Review and update their writing goals for the week.
• Spend a longer time at the end of each writing period reflecting on the process and developing a supportive community of peers.
