Dissertation Camp Overview

Winter Session Dissertation Camp offers a half-day of writing and research time. You are registering for five, daily, half-day virtual sessions.

We will begin and end with goal setting and goal assessment exercises to help frame the day and measure progress. Your goal is to practice the process of writing and research during the designated writing times and build the habit of regularly assessing your progress and development.
