Writing Retreat

Join us for a writing retreat with a quiet space to focus on your writing. Bring a collaborator or work on your own.

RSVP to advance2@unl.edu

We'll offer a light breakfast and lunch at a dormitory dining hall.

Talk to colleagues during meals; talk through writing challenges, and receive general career ideas.

In Addition:

  • Office of Research writing experts will provide a one hour introduction about university grant support.
  • You can receive up to one hour of one-to-one writing coaching.

From past Writing Retreat participants:

"The writing retreat was a true gift. I finally finished a paper for submission based on my NSF grant & completed a research report for an NIH grant."

"I found the structured week for writing most valuable. Having food provided too saved time."

...Advancing Women, Advancing STEM

America’s future prosperity requires talented men and women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln endorses the vital goal of recruiting, retaining, and promoting more women in STEM fields because:

  • To grow Nebraska’s economy and compete for talented workers, UNL must support all potential and existing employees.
  • Having women faculty attracts more women students into STEM fields.
  • A competitive UNL creates a workplace that welcomes and supports all potential faculty regardless of gender.
  • National funding agencies require and reward diverse research teams and efforts to reach diverse student and general populations.
  • The quality of research and creative solutions are enriched by diverse views, perspectives, and critical analyses.
