Dissertation boot camp
Summer workshop provides doctoral students with time, tutoring for writing
10:30 a.m., May 22, 2013--The University of Delaware Office of Graduate and Professional Education and the Writing Program are joining forces once again to offer an intensive workshop, scheduled July 29-Aug. 9, for doctoral students who are writing their dissertation or who have found their writing progress stalled. Those who have previously participated in a dissertation boot camp at the University also are welcome to apply.
Participants will spend the majority of their time writing; however, the workshop will also include brief discussions on topics of common interest to dissertation students, such as motivation, goal setting, time management and the writing habits of successful and prolific academic writers.

Students accepted to the program will commit to attending a writing session from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for two consecutive weeks.
Writing Program faculty will provide time, space and professional tutorial support to help students make progress on their projects. Lunch also will be provided.
To apply, prospective participants should complete the registration form found on this website. It requires a brief proposal (no more than 300 words) explaining what they will accomplish during the workshop. In addition, faculty advisers must nominate their students for this workshop — a brief email will suffice. Applicants will be chosen based upon time to degree completion, the importance of the workshop at this stage of the project and broad disciplinary representation.
Applications are due Friday, June 28, and should be emailed to Michael McCauley at boot-camp@win.udel.edu.
