Undergraduate students are permitted if they have attended the senior thesis camp week prior to this event. 

      Attendance and participation in the full day is expected for those who register. The camp sessions are held from 9:30am-4:30pm in the Hesburgh Library Second Floor Reading Room.

      The schedule is focused on two three hour writing blocks with light morning and afternoon refreshments, light lunch provided and a small goal setting and wrap up session at the beginning and end of the day. Registration will cap at 25 participants.

      A small pre-assignment will be sent to participants to help organize for the day. Due to the short duration of the day, no writing consultations are offered. Methods for supporting your work after the day's completion will be discussed and encouraged during the end of day wrap-up.
