Dissertation Writing Institute

A special program for new dissertation writers, our four-day institute will equip you with essential strategies to succeed in the dissertation writing process. Each day, you will attend skill building and professional development workshops facilitated by Professional Development & Postdoctoral Affairs staff. Workshop topics will include dissertation planning and goal setting for the academic semester. Each day will consist of morning workshops followed by structured time to implement the new strategies you've learned and receive peer feedback. In addition, there will be a 30-minute lunch break and shorter breaks throughout the day. Participants must have advanced to candidacy and be actively writing either their dissertation prospectus/proposal or the first chapter of their dissertation.
