A Time to Write retreat will be offered from Tuesday, June 4, to Friday, June 7, 2024, at the North Rustico Cottages in North Rustico.   

Time to work on writing projects away from home and campus for a few days can be incredibly productive. Participation in a writing retreat with colleagues at various stages of their career not only provides quiet, focused writing time away from teaching, research, and administrative responsibilities, but it also offers mentorship and networking opportunities with colleagues from a range of disciplines. The retreat provides an opportunity to develop a supportive writing group with colleagues from across campus and join group discussions on writing and publishing. 

The retreat is open to librarians and faculty (term and sessional faculty are encouraged to apply) in any academic unit at UPEI.

If you have a project (e.g., grant application, research publication) at a stage where sustained writing time makes sense with background research and/or data collection and analysis completed to the point that you are ready to write and are committed to the full program--a total of three days focused on writing, contact the Teaching and Learning Centre: tlc@upei.ca.

Six to eight participants will be accepted for this Time to Write retreat.
