Career-Life Balance Initiative: April 10th Writing Corner (4/10)
Are you looking for a place to spend time to work on your writing?
On Friday, April 10, 2015, we will be having our second ‘Career-Life Balance Initiative: Writing Corner.’ We hope this room will serve to help others achieve career-life balance by providing a comfortable environment where graduate students, post-doctorate fellows, faculty, and staff can allocate time to work at ease on their writing.
Attendees can come to work on their own writing individually. A writing advisor will not be present, but, we hope that the room will provide a comfortable environment for all of the attendees. All participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops and any materials that they might need to assist them with their writing. Complimentary food and drinks will be provided to help set the environment where you can work at ease while writing!
