• A group of graduate students from any program that commits to meeting regularly throughout the summer.
• The group’s goal is to sustain the members’ writing processes and improve their writing projects.
• This goal is achieved by the members writing together, holding each other accountable, and providing constructivefeedback to one another.

• 3-4 Cal Lutheran graduate students per group who have a specific writing project to complete by a set deadline (e.g., end of Summer 2025)
• The group members are committed to the regular, weekly or bi-weekly meetings during the summer.
• One of the group members serves as the group facilitator and communicates regularly with the Writing Center Coordinator, Jess Rodil. The group facilitator will be compensated (2 hours/week) for their work and responsibilities.
• The group members follow the group guidelines and ground rules to guide their participation (i.e., writing their drafts, reading others’ drafts, and responding to others’ drafts).

• By default, the group meets online (via Zoom); however, the group can still decide if they will meet in person, online, or a mixture of both. 
• The group agrees upon meeting times that work best for the group members.

• Joining a writing group makes the individual (and often solitary) writing process more interesting and interactive.
• The writing group can hold each member accountable and keep their writing process going, which helps achieve the member’s writing goals.
• Receiving readers’ feedback and audience responses (guided by the Writing Center) is inevitably helpful and beneficial for improving content, clarity, audience readability, and more.
• A writing group provides much-needed support to graduate students (academically, intellectually, socially, and professionally).
