Thesis and Dissertation
Boot Camps
Summer 2024
Thesis and Dissertation Boot Camps are intended to help students progress through
the writing stages of the thesis and dissertation process. Boot camp motivates participants
by providing space, writing support, structured time, and a sense of community. Participants
will learn about the thesis and dissertation process and will develop more effective
writing practices. Each day of boot camp will include a half-hour goal setting and
discussion session followed by 2.5 hours of sustained independent writing time. Writing
consultants will be available for brief, 15-minute consultations to provide feedback
on your writing or help you get unstuck.
NOTE: Two, separate boot camps run the same week, but at different times. The in-person
camp will feature guest speakers on relevant topics during the lunch break. Participants
in the online camp will be provided access to the guest speaker sessions, and recordings
will be sent out to all boot camp participants at the end of the week.

Spring Completion Camp
Each spring, in addition to our regularly scheduled Thesis and Dissertation Boot Camps, we offer a Thesis and Dissertation Completion Camp for those students planning to graduate in the upcoming spring or summer semesters. This camp will be held the week following spring break and will be closely tailored to the needs of students defending, revising, and submitting their thesis or dissertation in spring or summer. Please check back in mid-February for the current year's application.
