I.S. Writing Retreat

Calling all seniors!

Want to show your I.S. some love this Valentine’s Day?  
 
Join the Writing Center for a structured, focused work session on Saturday, Feb 14 from 10:15am until 2pm. 
 
How does a retreat work? Primarily this is a space to get real work done on your I.S. for an extended period of time. We’ll set writer (and researcher) goals for the day, opt in to some personal challenges (like going phone-free for an entire 90-minute work session), take a few stretch breaks and a longer lunch break, and celebrate what we have accomplished and the challenges we completed. 
 
Retreat Schedule: 

  • 10:15am: Personal goal-setting, opting in to challenges, and setting up your space 
  • 10:30am to Noon: First work session (with a whole-group stretch break at 11:25am) 
  • 12-12:30: Break for lunch  
  • 12:30 to 1pm: Second work session (with a whole-group stretch break at 1:25pm) 

Note: Lunch will not be provided, but we will be located in Lowry and our room will be secure during the break period. 

What are you committing to?  
Being present and working on your I.S. for the entire retreat time: 10:15am to 2pm. We will take breaks (including for lunch). But, because the purpose of a retreat is extended work time and people coming and going can be a distraction, we do ask that you only attend if you are able to stay and work for the entire period.  
 
If you have other commitments or think this amount of time is too much for you, that is completely understandable! You might want to check out our IS Study Hall on Tuesday afternoons instead (4-5:30pm), or Writer’s Space from 7-9pm on Wednesday evenings. 

Space is limited. RVSP here.
