Research Writing Retreat Spring 2025

A Welcoming Space for Focused Work, Accountability and Community

Research Writing Retreats, sponsored by 91²Ö¿â’s Graduate College, offer a distraction-free environment for graduate students to work on their research and writing projects. While “giving them permission” to put other aspects of life aside and focus on their writing, the retreats also create a supportive community that enhances productivity while also offering welcome accountability from their peers.
