Capella University (www.capella.edu), an accredited*, fully online university that has built its reputation by providing quality education for working adults, is now offering a series of 5-day writer’s retreats specifically for doctoral students who are working on their dissertations. The Dissertation Writer’s Retreats (www.DissertationRetreat.org) are held regularly at locations around the United States and are open to doctoral students of any college or university. More than 35 percent of Capella’s 28,000 students are pursuing doctoral degrees.
The Dissertation Writer’s Retreat has been specifically designed for doctoral students who have completed their comprehensive exams (or equivalent), have chosen an approved topic for their dissertation, and are working with an advisor, chair, or mentor. The retreat not only provides instruction, but offers a unique combination of benefits: a distraction-free environment, 1-to-1 coaching, and peer support.
“We place the highest priority on helping you create an environment conducive to writing. You'll have a private room as a home base, and a large gathering place to meet and share ideas, complete with a printer, refreshments, and comfortable work spaces. We work to make the details of life more convenient for you so that you can focus solely on making progress on your dissertation,” said Stone Shiflet, PhD, Writing Across the Curriculum Coordinator for Capella University. “When you attend one of these 5-day retreats, you get uninterrupted time to write, 1-to-1 support from writing faculty, librarians, and research methodologists, plus feedback from your peers. The Dissertation Writer’s Retreat is particularly useful for students who have reached roadblocks in the dissertation process. It’s also valuable for those who are just entering the dissertation phase. No matter where you are in the process, you can save time and tuition by finishing your dissertation sooner.”
The retreat includes a 5-night stay with free Internet access, continental breakfast, lunch, and refreshment breaks. The next two Dissertation Writer’s Retreats will take place in Phoenix from July 10 – 15, 2009, and Anaheim from August 28 – September 2, 2009.
