Graduate Writing Groups

All graduate students are welcome

Each Graduate Writing Group meets once a week with the same graduate mentor, in the same location on campus. All groups are available online and groups labeled “hybrid” are online and in-person on campus simultaneously. There are several groups to choose from. You must commit to attending your group(s) on a regular basis.

Check Program Student Team for grad mentor bios.

Accessibility Writing Group

We offer an Accessibility Writing Group (GWG-A) in partnership with Accessibility Services for students who want to work with others who experience graduate school with accessibility needs. The group is facilitated by a Ph.D. student with experience facilitating Graduate Writing Groups and accessibility programming for students.

The Accessibility Writing Group runs on Wednesdays from 9 – 11:30 a.m. with Christine.

Note that all students, including students with accessibility needs, are welcome to join all Academic Success programming.

Indigenous Writing Group

This writing community invites Indigenous students, students taking Indigenous Studies programs, or interested students who are working with Indigenous peoples. Each session opens with a Sharing Circle to check in and discuss writing goals with intention statements. Sessions will close with a circle for sharing writing accomplishments for the session.

The Indigenous Writing Group runs on Tuesdays from 5 – 7:30 p.m. in person at First Nations House with Carol Ducharme.
