dissertation bootcampAre you a UNC graduate student seeking a supportive environment to write your dissertation? Do you suffer from writer’s block, acute procrastination, or other dissertation-related afflictions?

If so, we invite you to take part in the first-ever “dissertation bootcamp” at the Center during the week of Spring Break. Participants will dedicate a block of time to writing each day. You’ll gain momentum on a project, make tangible progress, develop effective writing habits, and perform the often isolating task of “just writing” within a supportive community.

Graduate students who have begun the writing process will benefit the most. You should come prepared to produce and revise pages. Participation is free. We’ll meet Monday, March 10th through Friday, March 14th from 9:00 am–2:00 pm. Each session will include a half-hour break for lunch, discussion, and decompression.

Participants will have full access to the Center’s kitchen amenities (refrigerator, microwave, and coffee machine). Common areas can be used after the sessions for chatting, discussing work, and sharing writing. We regret that we can not provide free parking, but the Morehead Planetarium parking lot is two blocks away.

Space is limited, so spots in the bootcamp will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please RSVP to pathorn@unc.edu.
