The Graduate Centre for Academic Communication (GCAC) is hosting a few valuable events in June to help you progress through your degree: a Hybrid Dissertation Boot Camp (June 17-19), a Hybrid Research Article Boot Camp (June 25-26), and a number of online workshops. Please see below for further details (eligibility criteria, application form, and registration links) for these offerings.
GCAC Hybrid Dissertation Boot Camp for Doctoral Students: June 17-19, 2025
The GCAC’s three-day Hybrid Boot Camp from June 17-19 is meant for doctoral students who are ready to write or progress on their dissertation. You may choose to attend the boot camp either in-person or online, from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm each day.
Completing a dissertation is a priority for doctoral students, although finding focused writing time can often be a challenge. The GCAC’s Dissertation Boot Camp is a synchronous program that offers structure and guidance for three full days of writing and writing-related activities. You’ll be required to set aside other demands on your time for these three days, giving you the opportunity to make significant progress on your writing. Each day of the camp includes structured blocks of writing time as well as opportunities to learn process-related strategies for building momentum in your writing that will last beyond our virtual time together.
Applications are due by end-of-day, Monday, June 9.
