This event was highly successful, with135 unique attendees: more than half from STEM disciplines.The main goal of the Writing Retreat is to provide space and time for graduate students to workon writing projects, such as theses, dissertations, academic projects, or research outputs. As seenin figure 3, participants could share their writing goals on a whiteboard, adding a degree ofaccountability that some participants reported they appreciated. Secondary goals includeproviding low-stakes social interaction for students while supporting their cognitive load byreducing distractions and providing basic needs like food (and caffeine) while they write.

Having a common conceptual framework for problem solving – like design thinking – can help with those connections. • The motivation of key personnel will carry the project for the first few years, but what’s created must translate to new team members, administrators, and faculty who come on board.
