The Dissertation Writers Retreat

The Dissertation Writers Retreat offers UofM graduate students in-person and online opportunities to prepare as you begin, are in the middle of, or are wrapping up your thesis or dissertation. This event series, held each semester, is sponsored by the University Libraries, the Graduate School, and Writing and Communication Services at CASA.

Tigers Speak and Tigers Write

The Tigers Speak and Tigers Write programs reinforce and expand on important concepts for first-year students and others who want to improve their academic writing and speaking through in-person events and online modules. Topics cover all stages of the academic writing and oral communication processes, such as brainstorming and planning, finding research, drafting, researching sources, citing and incorporating sources, and editing and revising. Held each semester, these programs are developed by writing, communication, and research experts from Writing and Communication Services and the University Libraries.
