The Mary G. Walsh Writing Center and the Center for Research and Creative Activities (CRCA) are pleased to co-sponsor another full year of programming to support faculty in achieving their writing goals. We have designed a variety of opportunities among which you can select those that will best help you achieve your individual goals.
Just Write | Weekly Writing Support
Tuesdays from 12-1 pm on Zoom, beginning September 26
These informal weekly writing sessions, which can be attended remotely or in person, offer dedicated time for faculty to focus on writing with their colleagues. Participants will check in briefly, by introducing themselves, their writing projects, and specific goals for the session (and, if they want, for the year). Then, they will just write. Drop in when and as you can.
To participate, simply email ssu-research@salemstate.edu with "Just Write" in the subject line, and we will send you the Zoom link for the year.
Just Write | One-Day Intersession Retreats
During the January and May intersessions, Just Write extends to an in-person retreat, with breakfast and lunch booking a day of structured writing support. In person in Berry Library 209 or remote via HyFlex.
- Winter Intersession Just Write Retreat: Wednesday, January 10 | 9 am-1 pm
- Spring Intersession Just Write Retreat: Wednesday, May 22 | 9 am-1 pm
These one-day writing retreats, which can be attended remotely or in person, offer dedicated time and editorial support for faculty to pursue a writing project in the company of colleagues. The sessions will begin with a check-in with participants introducing themselves, their writing projects, and specific needs for completing the projects during the retreats. Light breakfast and lunch for those who attend in person.
