Faculty & Staff Writing Retreat

Friday, August 14, 2026
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Allendale Campus
Faculty, Staff

Structured as writing time with opportunities for individualized feedback, these 5-day retreats are an opportunity for faculty and staff to make extraordinary progress on a long writing project -- or several shorter ones. Writing center representatives will facilitate the retreats and be available to provide feedback to participants.

We'll provide a work station, light snacks, and plenty of coffee and tea; you bring the materials you'll need to be productive on your writing project and your own laptop.
Patrick Johnson, Director of the Writing Center, and/or Lindsay Ellis, Director of Writing Across the Curriculum, will be on hand to provide feedback if you'd like a personal consultation about your project.

This event is recurring on Monday, August 10, 2026, Tuesday, August 11, 2026, Wednesday, August 12, 2026 and Thursday, August 13, 2026.
