October 2024 FAS Faculty Writing Retreat
The Scholars as Leaders; Scholars as Learners program is offering a writing retreat on Thursday, October 17, and Friday, October 18, in the Majestic Room at the Graduate New Haven Hotel at 1151 Chapel Street in New Haven. FAS ladder faculty and Professors in the Practice are invited to attend either or both days.
This writing retreat is designed to give faculty the space and uninterrupted time to focus on their writing goals in the company of colleagues. Breakfast and lunch will be provided during both days. Optional prepared family meals will be available to take home at the end of the day on Thursday, October 17, 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. There is limited space available, so please reserve your seat by signing up online by Monday, October 14. The retreat agenda is available below.
Please note that this is not an overnight retreat.
If you have questions or suggestions about the writing retreat or SAL2 programs, please email sal2.fas@yale.edu.
