March 2025 FAS Faculty Writing Retreat

 

The Scholars as Leaders; Scholars as Learners program is offering a writing retreat on Monday, March 10 in the Old Common Room at the Yale Divinity School (409 Prospect Street, New Haven). The Old Common Room is circled on the map below.

This writing retreat is designed to give faculty the space and uninterrupted time to focus on their writing goals in the company of colleagues.  Optional prepared family meals will be available to take home at the end of the day so that meal-planning does not require your attention during the retreat. This retreat is intended for FAS ladder faculty at all career stages and in all disciplines. FAS ladder faculty and Professors in the Practice are invited to attend any portion of the day. Registration is closed, but if you have questions or suggestions about the writing retreat or SAL2 programs, please email sal2.fas@yale.edu. 

Parking is available next door to the Divinity School in the Greenberg Conference Center lot.
