Writing Spaces

Dedicated Writing Space (DWS)

Dedicated Writing Space (DWS) provides a community of practice to support research and scholarship productivity. Every semester, DWS meets each week for four 1-hour blocks. Some faculty use 1 hour, others stay for all 4.

DWS time is unstructured and yours to command – no programming or presentations. Faculty come to the virtual DWS space, share their goal for the hour and then focus on their writing. As a new element of the program, the sessions also provide faculty with an opportunity to connect with grant writers and grant support staff from DRI.

MCTEN Writing Retreats

The Writing Retreat is an all-campus program that offers protected time over a two-day, expenses-paid stay at The Dana Resort in Mission Bay.

Participants will enjoy an all-expense-paid two-night stay, with travel support for SDSU Imperial Valley faculty. The retreat will be unstructured, allowing faculty the freedom to work on their research/scholarship on the beautiful grounds of Mission Bay. Optional opportunities to socialize and network will be available at meals, coffee breaks, and evening bonfires/gatherings.
