Thesis boost writing retreat (GradProSkills event)

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. 

Advance registration is required. 

Do you wish the process of writing your thesis or next research paper was going a little faster? Do you sometimes feel unfocused, frustrated or alone in the writing process? You probably need a boost... a thesis boost.

Concordia’s 3-day Thesis Boost Writing Retreat is back at Loyola Campus in May 2025. This highly-appreciated retreat is tailored for graduate students who are in the middle to late stages of preparing their thesis or writing an academic article. Bringing together advisors from the Library, Student Success Centre, Campus Wellness, and School of Graduate Studies, this retreat provides a supportive and motivating environment where you will accelerate your writing process.

Throughout the event, you'll benefit from dedicated writing time and optional workshops focused on improving your writing strategies and productivity. Concordia University’s librarians and writing assistants will be available to provide personalized guidance and strategies tailored to your specific situation. Plus, you’ll connect with peers who are experiencing similar challenges.

Join us to break free from isolation, connect with fellow graduate students, and develop productive writing habits. Take a significant step towards completing your thesis!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Participants should have begun writing their thesis or paper before participating in this event.
