Writing in Graduate School and beyond brings new challenges.  Not only do writers encounter different settings and documents, they must develop sustainable, self-directed, and productive strategies for managing successful research communications, including: Understanding new audiences and formats such as proposals, abstracts, dissertations, and journal articles; obtaining useful feedback on works in progress and incorporating it into revision; and establishing scholarly practices to maintain motivation and focus over months and years. Whether you’re looking for a single consultation or sustained classroom instruction, the Writing Program offers a variety of opportunities for learning.

• One-on-one consultations in the Writing Center for feedback on any writing project as well as assistance in developing a sustained practice.
• Focused instruction through both individual workshops and half-term graduate courses in Writing in Science and Engineering (WSE), for quantitative researchers, and Writing in Social Sciences and Humanities (WSSH), for qualitative researchers.
• Opportunities for developing sustainable practices in community through Dissertation Boot Camps and Writing Days.
• Opportunities to mentor and teach as a Writing Center, WSE Fellow, and Quin Morton Teaching Fellow.

Princeton Research Day (PRD) is a celebratory event for undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other early career scholars to present their work to the campus community and beyond. Held annually, the event’s program includes research from all four divisions and features scholarship, research and creative works. Presenters communicate the broader impacts of their work to a general audience. The Mainstage event highlights selected presentations and brings together in-person and virtual attendees to celebrate research achievements.

Sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School and the Graduate Student Government, Graduate Writing Days offer graduate students of all years of study a quiet, comfortable place to write with good food and lots of caffeine. Pre or post-generals graduate students are welcome to work on a dissertation chapter, conference paper, journal article, seminar presentation, chapter, or grant application during Graduate Writing Days. Watch the GSG events calendar for upcoming dates.
