Welcome to the 2025 Dissertation House and Graduate Student Writing Retreat! 

All Graduate Students and Postdocs across all disciplines are encouraged to attend. A 20+ year old annual workshop for postdocs, this year it is being opened up to even more students! There will be networking, mentorship, learning, and most importantly, progress on your writing (whether it is a Dissertation, or any paper you are working on).

It will be held on October 23 and 24, from 9 am to 4 pm in PUBL 440.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided!
Dissertation Coach Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale will be providing intensive 1 on 1 sessions for 10 interested students (see the application for more information). The application is simple- it only requires some information from you and where you are with your writing.

Spots are limited and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. 
We look forward to seeing you there! 


This 2-day workshop is brought to you by UMBC's Graduate School and Postdoc Development (GSPD) team.
