Ahead of time, please prepare the following:
- Any beverages or snacks that would be helpful to have on hand.
- Materials that you will need for the dedicated writing time. (Please organize what you will need before the day starts so that you don’t spend your writing time digging through piles of notes or searching your computer for pdfs.)
- Your lunch (so that you won't have to think about it).
Participants will be eligible to participate in future Writing Days, which are offered monthly (Saturdays in Fall and Spring Terms and Fridays in Summer Term).
