Write-On-Site at the Kendall Center
The Kendall Center will be holding Write-on-Site for faculty in our conference room, Anderson Hall Room 303, on Wednesdays 9am-12pm throughout the fall semester. Write-On-Site cultivates a community of scholars who work on their individual writing projects. Bring whatever you need for your writing. Show up, check-in about what you are working on for the session, and get to writing. We work in 25 minute increments with 5 minute breaks, but you can work at your own pace and come and go as your schedule permits. Faculty from all disciplines are welcome. No need to sign up, just show up ready to write.

Spend two days writing at the Mount Olivet Conference Center in Farmington, MN. The retreats are from 9 a.m. the first day to 4 p.m. the second day. Meals, snacks, and support provided. Evenings free for activities and conversations…or more writing.
