One of the hardest things about writing as a graduate student is making time for the work. This writing retreat will allow participants to spend two days prioritizing their writing in a supportive and focused environment. The Graduate School will provide lunch and snacks so that you can progress on your thesis, dissertation, capstone, coursework, or any other writing project. Dr. Hawkins will also be on hand to provide any one-on-one writing support you need.    You are welcome to attend for as many days as you like, but please register separately for each day to help us plan food counts. Hosted by: Graduate SchoolAdditional Information can be found at: https://redbirdlife.illinoisstate.edu/event/11538953
