Summer 2024 Research and Writing Jumpstart In-Person / Online
Enjoy morning (10-noon) and/or afternoon (1-3) sessions dedicated to research and writing, available both in-person and via Zoom, with a flexible hybrid option to suit your preferences. Brief breaks to share highlights will increase focus and help us all benefit from the sense of being together in the challenge of research and writing. Our program culminates in a hybrid gathering at the week's end, with lunch provided for in-person participants, providing a valuable chance for participants to share their progress and insights.
As part of the program, we will invite registrants to complete a brief intention-setting worksheet that we will review; in addition, we will offer short 1-1 coaching sessions. Don't miss this opportunity to advance your research in a supportive, collaborative environment. Coffee and tea will be available throughout the day in the OFE Office.
Led by Emily Isaacs and Catherine Keohane
