Join us for TTL's second annual winter retreat for faculty writers!

This retreat is designed to support faculty at any stage of the writing process, from reading to drafting to revising. All types of writing projects are welcome. Boxed lunch, snacks, and beverages will be provided.

As we typically do for our retreats, we have provided a potential agenda below. Every writer is free to adapt the schedule as necessary to support their goals.

Inclement weather plan: should inclement weather prevent us from gathering in person, we will shift to a format of Zoom check-ins during retreat hours.
