Do you need a quiet space to write on campus? Looking to take a writing lunch? Have some planned writing time but keep getting distracted? Come by CAT+FD and take advantage of our new writing room!<\/p>\n

\"CAT+FD<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the summer, we repurposed an old office in CAT+FD as a dedicated faculty writing room. The room, located just off the reception area, is a space solely for scholarly writing and research. It is an email-, social media-, and grading-free zone, where you can get away for an hour (or six!) for some focused research and\/or writing time. Sit in an armchair and do some reading, spread out on the big farm table to get some words on the page, or simply contemplate a new (or old) project.<\/p>\n

\"CAT+FD<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s totally up to you! Here\u2019s what one visitor has to say:<\/p>\n

The writing room was the perfect place for me to go and shut myself off from the world to get my conference presentation completed. The room is comfortable and the staff was very attentive offering drinks and snacks as I worked. I will definitely use this space again when I just simply need to get
\nwork done without disruptions!!<\/p>\n

Celeste R. Parker, SLP.D., CCC-SLP
\nDirector of Clinical Education, Department of Speech Pathology<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Further, we are building a library on writing productivity (for online suggestions see the new Writing and Research Productivity<\/a> resources on our wiki), as well as working to fill the space with plants and nurturing vibes.<\/p>\n

We have refreshments, quiet, and (hopefully) writing inspiration. Come by, grab a coffee and a snack, and get down to writing! We look forward to seeing you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
