The Writing Centre is pleased to present the third installment of the Dissertation & Thesis Writing Boot Camp—an exciting opportunity for graduate and honours students to focus on their major writing projects in a group setting.

 The Writing Boot Camp will provide:

• Four two-hour blocks of writing time over two days.

• Individual check-ins with graduate writing tutors, research librarians, and software support experts.

• Presentations from the Faculty of Graduate Studies on effective strategies in graduate project planning and writing.

For students looking to jumpstart their writing, focus on their research, or sprint to the final touches, the boot camp offers a chance to work with accountability, camaraderie, and minimal distraction. Bring a lunch—but snacks, coffee, and tea will be provided. While the event is directed to graduate students, honours students are also welcome to attend.
