Join the Writing and Reading Center for any of our “Coffee and Donut Write-In” events in Fall 2024. A “Write-In” is a chunk of dedicated time for you to sit down and start, continue, or finish any paper you’re working on for any class. We serve coffee, tea, and donuts to keep you fueled. It’s like a study hall, but there’s no shushing.
Research shows that writing in community like this (even when you’re not speaking to anyone!) improves your accountability, focus, and productivity. In fact, the participants of our previous Write-Ins said they found it "motivating" to write in the same room at the same time, and several even said they made it to the finish line with some pretty tough assignments by the end of the event. Expert and friendly writing tutors float around to answer your writing questions and generally support you as you write away.
Write-Ins are in CDC 21 (The Tutoring and Learning Center, which is on the Ground level of CDC) on Thursday nights and in the Library on Friday mornings roughly every other week of the semester. Please see dates and times below. RSVP is not required (you’ll just sign in when you get here). Each Write-In is scheduled for two hours, but you can come for all or part of the time–your choice. Open to ALL students–CFA, CFW, Grad, and anyone else–no matter what your major, program, or type of paper you bring to work on.
As we like to say in the Writing and Reading Center: Never write alone!
