Welcome to the 2025 Dissertation House and Graduate Student Writing Retreat!
All Graduate Students and Postdocs across all disciplines are encouraged to attend. A 20+ year old annual workshop for graduate students, this year it is being opened up to even more students! There will be networking, mentorship, learning, and most importantly, progress on your writing (whether it is a Dissertation, or any paper you are working on).
It will be held on January 12, 13 & 14, from 9 am to 4 pm in Commons 331.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided!
One-on-One Resource Consultations - We are planning to offer 30-minute one-on-one sessions with representatives from various campus departments. While we cannot guarantee participation from every department, we will do our best to match you based on your interests.
The application is simple- it only requires some information from you and where you are with your writing.
Spots are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We look forward to seeing you there!
This 3-day workshop is brought to you by UMBC's Graduate School, the PROMISE program. Send any questions to promise@umbc.edu.
