Graduate Research/Write-in
Write-ins provide a large block of time during which to focus, relax and get some writing done. Attendees often appreciate the opportunity to write in a community setting and the energy and helpfulness of staff from the KU Writing Center and KU Libraries. Participants can attend optional workshops and one-on-one consultations about writing, research, citation software, or formatting. Participants may also simply use the time to write. Please register here. Lawrence Campus, 10am-5pm, Watson Library, 4th Floor (Check-in Room 410, Consultations Room 410A)
Workshops Include:
- Graduate Level Research Skills (11am-12pm): The workshop provides participants with an orientation to the resources available from KU Libraries.
