Thesis and Dissertation
Boot Camps

Fall 2026

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. 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 to provide feedback on your writing. Please note that boot camp is intended for those who are at the proposal stage or later and can provide an abstract for their project. 

NOTE: Two, separate boot camps will be run this fall at different times. Lunch will be provided at the in-person boot camp. The in-person camp will also feature guest speakers on relevant topics during the opening half-hour. A recording of the speaker presentations will be shared asynchronously with online boot campers.
