Teaming up with the IU Graduate School Indianapolis, the UWC offers a weekly, drop-in, writing accountability group that is open to all students. This is a scheduled, recurring time for writers to work on their projects in a supportive community of fellow writers. It’s a time for writers of all disciplines to come together to talk through their writing, receive support, and make progress on their projects. We meet in-person every Monday from 5-7 p.m. and every Thursday from 11 a.m-1 p.m. in the University Library Graduate Commons, UL 4115. The Thursday meeting is hybrid, so you can work remotely if you prefer.
Writers are encouraged to attend every week, but weekly participation is not a requirement. All writers and all types of writing across every stage of the writing process are welcome at our writing-in-community program. Writers can choose to stay for the whole event or to drop by and write for however long they would like. The weekly writing times are facilitated by graduate writing consultants and support our mission to listen to and respect writers, mentor and empower writers, value multiple literacies and language diversity, and encourage self-reflection and critical thinking. If you’re interested in joining us, please register here.
