Thesis and Dissertation
Boot Camps
*Graduating in Spring or Summer 2025? Check out Completion Camp!*
Winter 2025
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 online camp will feature guest speakers on relevant topics during the opening half-hour. Participants in the in-person 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.
