This retreat will give you uninterrupted time to work on a specific project, conduct research, edit a manuscript, prepare a grant proposal, or dedicate time to a collaborative writing project. You will be provided with a private or group workspace in Strozier, daily breakfast, lunch, and snacks, and the overall structure to help you make progress on your research and writing.
