Drop-In Writing/Working Space for Grad Students
Separate from GradsWrite, the Writing Center, in collaboration with the MU Graduate School, will host weekly drop-in work sessions on Monday evenings for fall 2025. These sessions are open to any graduate student at Mizzou, working on any project, for whom a quiet space to work in community with other graduate students would be helpful. Coffee & snacks provided.
What they are: GradsWork Sessions are quiet spaces to bring current works in progress and to work in community with other graduate writers. We will invite participants to share goals at the beginning of the session, then work quietly and independently for the duration of the session. We will invite participants to report progress and/or future goals at the end of the session. All writers and all projects are welcome.
No registration necessary. Please feel free to drop-in!
Please note: GradsWork sessions are quiet spaces to work in community with other graduate writers; no general writing instruction will be provided at the sessions.
