The Writing Division is planning its first annual end-of-the-year writing retreat for RATS students (including all you second-years: AKA soon-to-be RATS). This is your chance to reconnect with your writing community, put some hiking boots on and get some marathon writing done.
** WHO: You and 24 other RATS
** WHEN: May 11-13 (Friday to Sunday)
** WHERE: Quinipet Retreat Center on Long Island:
http://www.quinipet.org/id8.html (check out the Jesse Lee House)
** PRICE: $60 plus travel expenses and some food (the WD will cover most of the food)
The retreat itinerary is still being put together, but we’re looking at the following:
— mass time to write throughout the day on Quinipet’s lakeside campus
— night-owl activity that involves Shelter Island bars
— we’re inviting faculty to come out and spend time with us; we’ll see who bites
Space is limited to 25, so sign up quick to reserve your space. Word on the street is that these slots are going like hotcakes after a hangover. Just email Jeff Bender (jb2424@columbia.edu) to get on the list and more information will come soon.
