Graduate Resources
The Writing Center’s goal is to support the entire Mines community, from students to faculty to alumni. As a resource for graduate students, we work with topics such as thesis writing, journal articles, class assignments, and poster presentations. We also hold a Graduate Writing Group every other Friday to provide dedicated time and space for graduate student writers.
The Writing Center hosts a signature event each year known as the Thesis Writers Retreat. Exclusive to graduate students, this retreat is a chance to write with your peers, learn from breakout sessions on a variety of topics, and work with professional writing consultants to best portray your research.

Graduate Writing Group
Graduate writing groups will meet in person at the Writing Center every other Friday, 9AM-12PM. Work on writing your thesis, conference paper, or any other type of project. These sessions are casual and meant to give you a set time to work on your writing. You can attend for all or only part of the designated time. A professional writing consultant will be available for feedback and support should you need it at any point during the session. Coffee is provided to keep you fueled and focused as you write!
Registration for each group will be available two weeks before the designated date.
