Every Friday from June 28 to August 30,

Please sign up for the upcoming session. Does your writing project desperately need your attention, yet you find yourself postponing writing again and again? Consider doing it differently!
This weekly writing series was created with the specific needs of graduate writers in mind. Modeled on the Writing Center Dissertation Bootcamp, the series helps you set aside time dedicated solely to writing and offers a system of support. Each session is framed by a goal-setting conversation in the beginning and a reflection at the end to help track writing progress.
When you sign up for the workshop, please have in mind that attending these briefings is mandatory. They offer a chance to battle the isolation that writers often find themselves in, and introduce an accountability element so that it's easier to deliver on your plans. If you ever think that you are too slow or your writing task is just too daunting, come and get the support of your peers. It's easier when you are not alone!

Teaching statements have become important in academic job searches as more and more colleges and universities are requesting them from applicants for faculty positions. This workshop will introduce participants to the concept of the teaching statement and present recent research on how search committees interpret them. We will also discuss how writing a statement can serve as a valuable means of enhancing one’s own teaching strategies. This workshop will provide a context for participants to start writing their own statements by drafting key elements of them that draw on their teaching experiences and their goals for their students.
This event may be counted as a pedagogy workshop for the Teaching Transcript program.RSVP to reserve a seat.
