Motivation Mondays
- Date: Monday, February 6, 2023 - 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM
The graduate student writing group helps to develop writers with tips to improve their writing as well as create a community of writers to encourage and celebrate achievements of writing. Graduate students will be encouraged to set realistic writing goals on a weekly basis to monitor their progress and to maintain momentum with their writing. The progress reporting will be a personal assessment followed by a discussion of progress as a group.
We will be meeting every Monday (except Monday, February 20) starting on Monday, January 23 to April 3 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. In-person and online options available: Come and join us in Room 224 in Wallis Hall, Traill College for coffee and snacks! Online via Zoom: Register for one session and then you will get an email with the zoom link for each session. Register at: Trent Student Experience Calendar
