Writing Group (not currently offered)

People come together weekly on Fridays at 12:30pm.  Each individual’s writing project may vary.  Some examples include job applications, PhD theses, research manuscripts, and presentations. It can be a source of external accountability, or just a dedicated time to work on things one may otherwise put off.  Peer revisions are an option.
