Megan Case

“Through the writing groups at the UWC, I found a community where I could discuss my writing goals and track my progress. The writing retreats were especially helpful and I was able to produce a great deal of writing during those days.”

 

Sierra Senzaki

“My favorite resource is the graduate writing groups, which I have both participated in and led, because they provide camaraderie, low-stakes accountability, and protected writing time.”

 

Karen Chilstrom

“The UWC completely changed my experience of graduate writing. The guidance and support I received allowed me to finish the dissertation much more quickly than I could have on my own.”

 

Caitlin McClune
