Ready to make real progress on your thesis or research writing? We are pleased to share that we will be hosting in collaboration with Student Academic Success Services a Grad Writing Retreat at An Clachan!

This is more than just a writing session: it’s a dedicated day to focus, connect, and move your work forward in a supportive environment. Whether you’re drafting chapters, revising papers, or tackling feedback, this retreat is designed to help you build momentum and stay motivated. Take a step back from daily distractions and give your thesis the focused time it deserves. Small progress in one day can create major momentum for the rest of the semester!



The day will be broken into a morning and afternoon session with a lunch break (light refreshments will be provided). You may choose to join in for the morning or afternoon session or stay for the whole day, it’s up to you!

This session is also open to students in John Orr Tower
