UWC Graduate Writing Retreats are an opportunity to work alongside your peers in a quiet, distraction-free environment. We provide coffee, light snacks, and worksheets for goalsetting and quick writing exercises. Several UWC staff are also available to provide mini 15-minute consultations. Come all day or stay for a few hours, and get ready to get some writing done!

This beginner-friendly improv workshop will use the tools of improvisational theater to help you become a better collaborator, increase your storytelling skills, and become more relaxed with all of the unknowns that come with your path in science and tech. RSVP here.
