Please note: Each session is limited to 20 participants. As part of its efforts to provide financial support for graduate students who are engaged in short-term intensive campus programs that contribute to their development as academic professionals, the Graduate Division will provide a Professional Development Award to the participants of the Dissertation Write-In. A fellowship of $400 will be awarded to students who successfully complete all four days of the program. Note that this fellowship is available to students regardless of P-status.
Can't make it to the session in June? Don't worry, there will be another session from September 16-19. Applications for this session will open in late July.
