Dissertation Boot Camp

Completing one's dissertation is the ultimate academic accomplishment, but creating dedicated time to concentrate solely on writing can be difficult. The Division of Graduate Studies is committed to doing whatever it takes to help you succeed. In doing so, we’re excited to offer Dissertation Boot Camp Weekend Retreats during the academic year. This boot camp inspired retreat has been developed to provide you with a distraction-free weekend so you can remain focused on your writing!

Our program has been developed to help provide you with a quiet space so you can remain focused on your writing and the opportunity to network with other colleagues working on their dissertations. Plus, we will be providing you all of your meals in one place, so you don't have to break your focus by leaving to eat. The program is hosted in room 330 of the University Library and students can study in computer labs (rooms 333 and 334) and conference room spaces (rooms 320, 352, and 365). Learn more about Dissertation Boot Camp.

The price for Kent State graduate students will be $30 for two days or $20for one day. Register for the March Dissertation Boot Camp now.
