The schedule for the retreat includes:

9:00-9:15 Introductions and Goal Setting
9:15-11: 45 Focused Writing Time

As a way of developing an active writing community at the university, the Office of Research and Innovation sponsors Writing Spaces, a program that welcomes faculty from all ranks and disciplines to write together in a collegial, focused environment. Each meeting includes discussion about goals, blocks of writing time, and a lunchtime workshop.

If you are interested in joining the Writing Spaces listserv or have questions about the retreats, please email Natalie_Houston@uml.edu or Jonathan_Silverman@uml.edu.
