Summer break offers us a much-needed rest from academic responsibilities, but it\u2019s also an opportune time to catch up (or get ahead) on our academic projects. Join the Graduate Writing & Presenting Lab as we discuss topics ranging from finding balance between relaxation and production, planning out for the upcoming academic year, overcoming exhaustion and unstructured time, and getting some summer writing\/work done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Join us for some or all of this jam session where you can bring any writing project and come work in a space with like-minded students! Coffee, tea, and light continental breakfast fare will be provided. No registration is required, but please consider signing up so we can anticipate how much food to order. If you have any questions while you’re writing, a Graduate Writing & Presenting Lab consultant will be available to chat with you. Please note: <\/strong>the area around RINEC in Providence has street parking, but there are no commuter lots for URI students. RINEC does however have its own paid parking garage at 330 Eddy Street (South Street Landing Garage) just behind the South Street Landing building on the same side. There are a few different parking garages in the area\u2014the correct garage has large black & white historical photos on the outside & is located on the same side of Eddy Street as SSL. Additionally, when you arrive at RINEC, you may need to check in at the front security desk to let them know you are there to attend a writing retreat.
