Details

The UMB Writing Center’s Writing Accountability Group (WAG) offers a supportive, interprofessional community where writers commit to focused time for their projects. We meet every Wednesday from 12–2 p.m. on Zoom, starting September 24.

Each two-hour session begins with a brief check-in and goal-setting, followed by dedicated writing time and a short closing reflection.

Writing Center staff and fellows are available to answer questions and connect participants with resources, while most of the session is reserved for uninterrupted writing.

Open to UMB students, faculty, postdocs, and staff, the WAG provides flexible access throughout the semester — whether you attend weekly, monthly, or whenever you need extra motivation. Bring any kind of writing, from coursework and articles to personal statements or creative projects, and use the space to build accountability and momentum.

Register through our website to receive the Zoom link and Outlook invitation.
