The HKS Library is excited to launch a Writing Accountability Group! Open to all HKS students, the group provides structure, advice, and moral support for those working on PAEs, SYPAs, research papers, and other projects. Every week the group will convene to check in on goals, outcomes, and strategies for success, and to share a dedicated space for writing.
When: Thursday, 11:00am - 12:00 pm, through March 30.
Where: Library Commons (ground floor of Littauer, to the left of the main Library entrance).
RSVP: Email Daniel Becker, Curriculum & Instruction Librarian.
