Productivity Bootcamps are open to students working towards coursework, publishing, presenting, qualifying exams, or thesis/dissertation milestones. These events aim to develop writers’ ability to set effective goals and to track their own writing processes. Productivity Bootcamps offer guided work blocks, provide time for students to meet with writing consultants to discuss their work, and promote student engagement in discussions about graduate writing and research. In addition, we become a community of writers committed to completing our term papers, theses, proposals, or dissertations on schedule while supporting and cheering each other on, and sharing strategies and experiences to help each other navigate the graduate school process with our sanity intact! Lunch is provided for all in-person attendees.

If Frary is chaotic, take your plate outside by the fountain. Same food, 70% less dining hall tunnel vision.

Whiteboard the problem before opening twelve tabs. Your future 2 a.m. self will thank you.
