In addition to our regular tutoring and workshops, we also offer monthly and end-of-semester events focused on helping students complete specific projects and develop writing accountability. If you have questions about any of these events, please feel free to contact us at commlab@gatech.edu.
Just Write Fridays
Overview
Just Write Fridays are designed to help graduate students solidify strong academic writing habits. Each session will begin with setting and sharing goals and end with a brief progress report. Each time a student attends and completes the exit survey, they will also be entered into a drawing to win prizes at the end of the semester. Students can join us in person in Clough 447 or by Zoom.

Dissertation Accelerator
Overview
The Dissertation Accelerator, hosted at the end of fall and spring semesters, is designed for those students looking to make significant progress on their dissertations, across the process. Open to all currently enrolled GT doctoral students who are actively working on their dissertations, the Accelerator is a week-long program that addresses the processes and genres associated with the dissertation process. Each day, the Accelerator delivers structured time to write, accountability to help students reach their goals, community to support them throughout the process, and access to curated workshops that provide attendees with tools and strategies for completing their dissertations. The Accelerator offers both in-person and remote options for participation; however, space is limited and acceptance into the program is determined by where students are in their process, with priority going to those who are nearing the end of their dissertation work. Note: The Accelerator is not a writing course, and students should be prepared to write independently over the course of the week. To receive updates about registration for the Accelerator and other events, make sure to create a profile with us by logging in to the WC Online system at https://gatech.mywconline.com/.
Upcoming Events
Our next Accelerator will take place December 9th-13th. Apply here by 5pm on Sunday, December 1st.
