CES Write-In
–
December 5, 2025
Would scheduling regular, specific times to write about your outreach or engagement work be helpful? If so, please join us on the first Friday of each month for three hours of dedicated time to advance your scholarship. Past participants have written journal articles, grant proposals, book chapters, theses or dissertations, curricula, pieces for public audiences, and community engagement portfolios. Participants should plan to write for the full three hours. We start the write-in by sharing writing goals for the day and wrap up with accomplishments and next steps.
Write-Ins are free, but registration is required. *Please note that your registration is a commitment to attend.
Sponsored by: University Outreach and Engagement; Office of Faculty and Academic Staff Development; The Graduate School; The Writing Center.
Registration Coming Soon
Contact Diane Doberneck, connordm@msu.edu with any questions.
