2FA protects you

If you are using two-factor authentication (2FA), even if a hacker has your password, your information is probably safe.

Participants will spend the majority of their time writing but 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 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for two consecutive weeks. 

The writing center will provide time, space and professional tutorial support to help students progress on their projects. Lunch will also be provided.

As part of the application, participants will write 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 e-mail will suffice. The nominations may be sent to Melissa Ianetta, associate professor of English and director of the University Writing Center, at boot-camp@win.udel.edu.

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.
