In an effort to support faculty in the pursuit of their own writing projects, WID offers both structured writing groups and drop-in writing retreats.
Writing in Good Company: Structured 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.
Fall 2024 groups options are Thursdays, 10-12, or Fridays, 9:30-11:30. Email us to sign up!
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.Â
Fall 2024 retreats will be held on Mondays, 9-12. Simply drop-in to 302 Howe Memorial LIbrary during that time to join. If you'd like a calendar invite, email us!
