Annual Faculty Writers' Retreat at Cool Spring - May 30

Join us for a day of uninterrupted writing time amid the natural beauty of SU’s River Campus at Cool Spring Battlefield.

TTL’s goal is to provide you with the time and space to get a jump start on your summer writing projects. This is not to say you have to follow any particular agenda at the retreat. Whether you want to write in a quiet spot or walk the trails to think in solitude, we hope working alongside your colleagues in this tranquil and historically significant setting will be a source of pleasure and inspiration.

Activities might include:

  • rewriting a syllabus
  • revamping course materials
  • drafting a conference presentation
  • revising for publication
  • catching up on your reading
  • getting back to that manuscript-in-progress

To help you make the most of your time at the retreat, we offer attendees the following opportunities and amenities:

  • Pre-retreat workshops and quiet writing time.
  • Certificate of completion for your promotion portfolio.
  • Morning coffee and pastries.
  • Catered lunch,
  • Afternoon wine and cheese reception.
  • Tips and support for continuing the retreat experience.
