Motivation Mondays, a graduate student writing group, helps to develop writers with tips to improve their writing as well as create a community of writers to encourage and celebrate achievements of writing. Graduate students are encouraged to set realistic writing goals on a weekly basis to monitor their progress and to maintain momentum with their writing. Progress reporting will be a personal assessment followed by a discussion of progress as a group.
We will be meeting every Monday (except Monday, February 17) starting on Monday, January 20 to March 31 from 10:30 to 11:30 am.
Online via Zoom: Register for one session and then you will receive the zoom link for each session. Register for the Zoom link.
