SUMMARY:Alumni Conversation about the Academic Writing Process
DESCRIPTION:The College of Arts and Sciences is hosting alumna Dr. Alison Miller on Tuesday\, July 15. Dr. Miller authored the book Finish Your Dissertation: Once and for All! and co-founded a virtual co-working community for graduate students and other academic professionals called The Academic Writers’ Space. She is focused on helping people shift from hustle and overwhelm to Relaxed Productivity\, a way of working that honors productivity\, purpose\, and well-being. Her approach is rooted in both science and lived experience. She holds a BA from Cornell and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from University of Illinois Chicago\, and has 25 years of entrepreneurial leadership\, including founding and leading The Dissertation Coach\, which helped over 15\,000 people earn their doctoral degrees before she sold the company after 24 years of impact. \nIn addition to presenting to undergraduate Nexus Scholars in their professional development class\, the Graduate School and Arts and Sciences Career Development are delighted to offer 1:1 meetings and an Academic Writing Process small group conversation hosted by Dr. Miller in the afternoon. Individual meetings are available for both undergraduates and graduate students\, while the Academic Writing Process event is open to students\, postdocs\, and interested faculty/staff. If you are interested in either of these opportunities\, please sign up via this SignUpGenius link as soon as possible. \nPlease send any questions about Dr. Miller’s events for graduate students on July 15 to Dr. Colleen McLinn (cmm252) or Jess Shapiro (js3845). \nSee also: \nMore resources for Graduate Student Writing Support
