The Purdue OWL is offering the Intensive Writing Experience for Thesis and Dissertation Writers (IWE) again this summer. The purpose of the IWE is to give Graduate Students in good standing with their programs time to write or revise their master’s thesis or doctoral dissertation with support from Purdue OWL staff. Participants will receive writing instruction and support from Writing Lab staff, will spend significant time writing or revising their thesis or dissertation, and will network with other graduate writers on campus. 

Those who attended a previous IWE are allowed to apply, but preference will be given to those who have not yet attended.

Writers can choose between a full-day virtual week (3 full days), a full-day in-person week (3 full days), or a half-day in-person week (5 half days, mornings).

• May 13-15 (virtual, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm)

• May 20-22 (in-person, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm)

• May 27-29 (in-person, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm)

• June 2-6 (in-person, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm)
