Any and all graduate writers enrolled at UBC are welcome to register free of charge\, whether they plan to work on a research article\, a master’s thesis\, a doctoral dissertation\, or any other piece of writing relevant to their studies. \nIn addition to catered lunch\, coffee\, and snacks\, the GWR will feature a number of pedagogical supports\, including an opening panel discussion between CWSC staff\, Writing Studies faculty\, and graduate students across the disciplines; writing consultations with CWSC staff and trained doctoral-student consultants; and self-reflexive writing practices such as goal-setting and reflection. Most of all\, the event offers a chance to write extensively in a relaxing\, contemplative\, and collegial setting. \nNote: Participants must commit to attending all three days (June 11\, 12 and 13) \nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\nJUNE 11\nJUNE 12\nJUNE 13\n\n\n\n\n10 am\nOpening Panel\nWriting Consultations\nWriting Consultations\n\n\n11 am – 1 pm\nWriting\nWriting\nWriting\n\n\n1 – 2 pm\nLunch\nLunch\nLunch\n\n\n2- 4 pm\n2:00 – 2:30 pm: Goal Setting \n2:30 – 4:00 pm: Writing\nWriting\nWriting\n\n\n4 – 4:30 pm\nReflection\nReflection\nSurvey and GPS Resources\n\n\n\nPANELLISTS\nPatty A.
