The Spring 2021 OGPD Writing Program application is now open.
The Writing Program is a social support initiative that strives to create a peer support structure to (1) help students cope with feelings of isolation in the writing stage of their studies and (2) aid students in supporting each other in setting and reaching writing goals. Participants will need to be actively engaged in a writing project (thesis, dissertation, manuscript, qualifying exams, research papers, literature reviews, etc.) to be accepted into the program. Participants WILL NOT be provided with writing feedback/editing and/or academic writing instruction by the program coordinator or their peers.
