Dissertation House WEEKEND at UMBC: 26 hours!! Fri. Feb. 3 – Sun. Feb. 5


Due to popular demand, and thanks to the hard work of PROMISE Staff’s Natasha Ramoutar and UMBC’s Mr. W. Archer in Event Planning, there are rooms for the “Dissertation House” at UMBC for nearly 3 full days this weekend!

Friday, Feb. 3: 8:30 AM – 1 PM (Commons 328), 1PM – 6PM (Commons 332)

Saturday, Feb. 4: 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM (Commons 329)

Sunday, Feb. 5: 12 noon – 8:00 PM (Commons 327)

These sessions are limited to graduate students who have participated in a 4-day DH session with Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale in the past, e.g. Jan. 2012, August 2011 (12 hour DH Marathon at the Sheraton Columbia), Sept. 2011 (Employees), July 2011, Jan. 2011, etc.  Be sure to check the 3rd floor monitors and signs near the elevators in the Commons on the designated days in case there are last minute changes.  Don’t forget to blog in.  You’ll be joined virtually by your colleagues from other schools.  Three cheers for an upcoming productive weekend!

What is dissertation house?


The Dissertation House program is an intensive writing retreat designed to help graduate students overcome the barriers that often impede progress on their dissertations. Developed by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, the program provides a supportive and structured environment where students can focus on their writing, receive feedback, and learn effective time management and goal-setting strategies. Over several days, students work in groups, participate in workshops, and receive coaching from experienced facilitators. The Dissertation House program has been highly successful in helping students make significant progress on their dissertations. It is widely regarded as a valuable resource for graduate students seeking to complete their degrees.
