UVA Writes: Weekly Writing Sessions for Faculty and Staff

UVA Writes is a Weekly Writing Group for UVA Faculty and Staff

Hosted by Monique Dufour, PhD, School of Medicine, and Jennie Knight, PhD, Director of the Center for Faculty Wellbeing and Development, Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost.

UVA faculty and staff are invited to write together each Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Your work matters. Let’s help each other:

• Achieve some focus amid stress and competing commitments
• Dedicate time to our writing
• Make progress on our projects
• Learn strategies for strengthening concentration, gaining momentum, and building a sustainable writing practice
• Work in a supportive community of fellow writers
