Faculty Writing Retreats: Drop in During Our Retreat Time!
WID's flexible Faculty Writing Retreat offers faculty a companionable, quiet space for writing without a commitment to a writing group. Faculty bring their laptops or paper, and WID supplies coffee, tea, and snacks. Faculty are welcome to drop in and work for any or all of the Writing Retreat time and as often or infrequently as they wish. WID's Writing Retreat is offered once a week throughout the semester. In-person in 302 Howe Library; registration not required but recommended so that you can receive reminders and updates should a session need to be canceled.
Sign up for Mondays, 12:30-3:30 pm, throughout the spring semester.
Writing in Good Company: Weekly Writing Groups
WID's Writing in Good Company initiative provides faculty with an opportunity for routine writing time in structured writing groups. Each small group commits to meeting regularly (typically weekly) for 2-3 hours. At the beginning of each semester, groups decide amongst themselves how they would like to structure their time. For many groups, the time spent together begins with a brief discussion or goal setting with the remaining time spent quietly writing. In-person in 302 Howe Library; registration required.
Sign up for Mondays, 9 am -12 pm, throughout the spring semester.
Sign up for Thursdays, 10:30 am -1:30 pm, throughout the fall semester.
Faculty As Writers
Instructors working on writing projects while teaching often find it emotionally and logistically challenging to manage the workload and keep up motivation. It’s a lot to squeeze in! This group will explore resources, share tips, and reflect on experiences.
This group will meet on Tuesdays from 2:30-3:30 pm, in Teams, on February 3, February 24, March 17, April 7, and May 5.
