GRAD Writes intensive writing retreats are designed for graduate students who plan to complete theses/dissertations in 2021 or 2022. Although, graduate students and postdocs at any stage are welcome to attend.
Retreats are currently scheduled as “hybrid,” with in-person and remote (ZOOM) access. The in-person option is capped at 10 participants per retreat and allotted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The F2F, in-person version of the retreat will follow CSU Covid Safety Protocols. All F2F registrations above the cap will be registered for remote (ZOOM) attendance.
Each retreat access will be confirmed in a retreat information email.
Please, apply to a retreat ONLY if you are sure you can commit to attending the retreat. When you honor your commitment to attend a retreat, you serve your goals and help us to prepare for you. Thank you.
