Dissertation Writing Camp

Dissertation Writing Camp

The Dissertation Writing Camp is a week-long camp that offers ASU doctoral students dedicated time and space to write their prospectuses, dissertations, or applied projects.

This camp is available to any currently enrolled ASU doctoral student who has reached candidacy or is currently writing their dissertation prospectus.

This year, our camp will be offered online from June 1 to 5, 2026, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Arizona time).

How does it work?

You can tailor your experience based on the activities that interest you and the level of peer interaction you seek. Camp attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Develop a writing plan for the week and your work going forward.
  • Gain awareness of the resources available to you as an ASU graduate student.
  • Use structured writing time to further your writing and resource process.
  • Learn and adapt writing strategies to fit your writing needs.
  • Build community with peers.

How do I register?

There is a $50 program registration fee. Please note this amount will be automatically posted to your student account after the first day of the camp.

Registration for the Dissertation Writing Camp will close May 22, 2026, at 3 p.m. (Arizona Time).

Legacy reflects the work we have done that carries into the future. Many faculty think about their legacy through their research and their students. Research becomes part of a legacy because it contributes new knowledge, shapes understanding, and creates pathways for others to build upon.
Become a Community Advocate
ASU’s Community Advocates Peer Mentor Program invites second-year graduate students to support incoming peers by creating spaces for connection, guidance and growth. Mentors not only help others navigate grad school—they also build leadership skills, community and lasting relationships along the way.
