What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?

• What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students

• Who: WAGs are comprised of a group of graduate students (usually 4-8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability 

• Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers 

• When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60-90 minutes for 10-12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.

• Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or other video conferencing platform
