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 thesis writing, journal articles, and we work with GSG to provide thesis formatting reviews. We also hold graduate writing hours separate from our standard hours to cater to graduate student needs.

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 Student Resources

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. 

Thesis Formatting Reviews

Graduate Student Government and the Office of Graduate Studies provides thesis formatting support via the Writing Center 2-3 weeks before upload deadlines. Students should prepare an electronic copy of their thesis for a preliminary format review. Students can receive help with issues such as margins, visual aids, page numbers, white space, and front matter. All formatting sessions will take place with the consultant titled “thesis formatting.” Appointments are available on the following days:​

    • Monday, May 1: 6-9PM
    • Tuesday, May 2: 6-9PM
    • Wednesday, May 3: 6-8PM

To make an appointment, please visit our online scheduler and make an appointment in the “Thesis Formatting” slot.
