This intensive one-week (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) program is designed to help graduate students accomplish their thesis writing goals and accelerate their time to completion. Participants are expected to participate all 5 days.

DWR offers graduate students focused and supported individual time to write, as well as lessons on writing issues and access to one-on-one support with writing experts. We recommend that students attend DWR early in their thesis or dissertation writing process.
