Faculty Writing Group
Wish you had more time to focus on your writing? Want to be accountable to a collegial
group for meeting deadlines this semester? Writing groups have been shown to increase
scholarly productivity. Join this faculty writing group and meet faculty members from across
campus while completing your writing projects. Our first meeting will involve goal setting for
the semester and subsequent sessions will include significant time for writing. Other activities,
which could include peer editing, will be determined by the group.
Application due date: Friday, February 12, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. Submit applications to the
Faculty Development Office; 303 Todd Bldg., or by email to amy.kinch@umontana.edu.
