Associate Professor Writing Retreat
The Office of Faculty Development (OFD) partners with the Program in Writing and Communication (PWC) on a 2 & 1/2 day writing retreat for Associate Professors in Galveston. Hosting the event out-of-town gives faculty members the chance to truly disconnect for a few days to focus on their writing.
The Writers’ Retreat provides associate professors (1) support for building effective writing habits and strategies, (2) individual feedback on a current project, and, most importantly, (3) time to focus on their writing. Most of the retreat agenda will be devoted to quiet writing time, during which one-on-one writing consultations will be available. Mealtimes are used to discuss topics of interest to the group.
