The writing accountability group would provide a dedicated time and supportive space that graduate students can keep in their schedule to work on diverse writing projects. We are seeking feedback from graduate students to better understand interest in launching this project.

The EGSS is considering establishing a weekly, drop-in graduate student writing group that would be offered in a hybrid format (i.e., in-person and online).
