GWC Write-ins

Work alongside peers, writing instructors, and librarians as you set and meet your writing goals.

Fridays 1000–1400
​​​​​In the Graduate Writing Center
(Dudley Knox Library, 1st fl)

Write-ins give you dedicated time to make real progress on an assignment or thesis. GWC writing instructors and DKL librarians are on hand to answer writing or research questions on the spot. Conquer writer's block and feel better heading into the weekend.

Don't forget your laptop, and feel free to bring fuel from the Waypoint coffee shop or Cafe Del Monte.

No appointment required—come for all or part of the time. See a typical schedule below.
