Coworking sessions for graduate writing productivity (GradProSkills event)

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to current graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. 

Participants can join any Monday between May 25 and June 29. To register for the session, please contact Gradproskills.

Summer can feel academically quieter, but it’s also a valuable time to make progress on your research papers, projects, or thesis. Graduate work can sometimes feel isolating, but you do not have to go through it alone. From May 25 to June 29 (Mondays), you are invited to join online co-working group sessions led by GradProSkills.

Each session follows a Pomodoro-style format designed to support focused work and accountability while fostering meaningful connections with peers:

• 1:00 PM – Check-in, goal setting, and introductions
• 1:15 PM – First 45-minute focus session
• 2:00 PM – Break
• 2:15 PM – Second 45-minute focus session
• 3:00 PM – Break
• 3:15 PM – Final 45-minute focus session
• 4:00 PM – Debrief and reflection

Throughout this 3-hour session, you’ll benefit from dedicated and structured time to focus on writing or other academic tasks in a supportive virtual environment. These sessions aim to help you build consistency, reduce isolation and create space for meaningful progress on your work. 

These free sessions are open to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers currently working on a thesis, research paper, or other tasks that require dedicated focus time.
