9:30 am - 4:30 pm
231 Hesburgh Library, Collaboration Hub
The Hesburgh Libraries proudly offers a research and writing program co-sponsored with the University Writing Center and the Graduate School. The purpose of the camp is to help scholars focus on their own research and writing as they work toward completion of their dissertation or thesis.
Dissertation Day Camp offers a full day of writing with assistance from librarians and writing tutors. The day begins and ends with goal setting and goal assessment exercises to help frame the day and measure progress. Your goal is to practice the process of writing during the designated writing times.
We'll provide coffee and hot water for tea all day long, snacks in the morning and afternoon and a light lunch.
