Join RMF for a dissertation writing workshop led by Dissertation Coach Dr. Wendy Carter-Veale! This half-day workshop is designed to help doctoral students manage the dissertation process with a marathon-like approach: emphasizing time management, goal setting, advisor management, and daily task accomplishment. Participants will leave with concrete strategies to structure their writing, maintain motivation, and effectively communicate with their advisors. The interactive format provides practical exercises and solutions, ensuring that students are equipped to move forward with confidence and clarity. This will be a hybrid event.
Please Note: This workshop is specifically for doctoral students preparing their dissertation prospectus/proposal, preparing to write their dissertation, and currently in the dissertation writing phase. It is open to anyone regardless of discipline.
