Dissertation Writing Support Program

Welcome! 

The Dissertation Writing Support Program is a year long writing community designed for graduate students and Honors Tutorial College writers working on theses and dissertations. DWSP is funded through the Konneker Grant, and provides structured writing time, research informed strategies, and cross campus support to help writers make consistent, sustainable progress.
