CommLab’s Summer Dissertation Accelerator
Have you gotten behind on your writing the last year? Are you having trouble getting back into a regular writing schedule? Not feeling motivated? Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t know where to start?
The Accelerator (formerly Dissertation Bootcamp) is designed to help you get back on track with your dissertation ahead of the start of the fall semester. You’ll have daily check-ins for accountability, help setting goals, access to writing workshops designed specifically for dissertation writers, and access to CommLab’s Professional Consultants for individual help over the course of the week-long event. The Accelerator will take place July 19-23, 2021 from 10am-5pm with both in remote and in person options. (In-person participation is subject to space available and is offered on a first come, first served basis). The Accelerator is open to all Georgia Tech PhD students at any stage of the dissertation process.
