September Writing Challenge
Start the semester strong by dedicating just 15 minutes a day to your writing goals throughout September. Whether you're working on a book, manuscript, grant proposal, or other creative projects, this supportive community can help you make meaningful progress, even when other priorities compete for your time. This is a great option for faculty who like to work independently, but seek structure and accountability. Previous participants have noted that the writing challenge is both useful and engaging.
If you are interested in joining, please submit an interest form by Aug. 22. All are welcome!
