Back by popular demand, the Dissertation Boot Camp will be held twice in 2013!!!

The Dissertation Boot Camp is an intensive week, designed to accelerate a graduate students progress in the final stages of writing their thesis. Participants commit to spending 4-5 days writing their dissertation in a comfortable environment dedicated to writing, with free lunches provided on some days, a limitless supply of coffee, tea and snacks (not to mention lots of bananas), and an inter-disciplinary cohort of fellow students at similar stages of thesis completion.

The Writing Center and Learning Strategies will provide one-on-one editorial and writing support when needed, as well as some short spot-light talks on subjects especially relevant to the thesis writing, for example, maintaining writing momentum!  At the end you will be equipped with some strategies to make the time to sit down and write free of distractions.
