Dissertation Accelerator
The Dissertation Accelerator is open to all currently enrolled GT doctoral students actively working on their dissertations, at any stage of the process. The Accelerator provides students with structured time to write, accountability to help them meet their goals, community to support them through the process, and access to workshops that provide them with tools and strategies for completing the dissertation. The Accelerator is not a writing course and it does not provide writing instruction to students. Students should be prepared to write independently for ~20 hours during the Accelerator week.
We host an Accelerator at the end of each fall and spring semester and offer both in-person and remote options for participation. Space is limited and acceptance to the program is determined based on where students are in the dissertation process with priority going to first-time participants who are defending within the coming year. All participants should be prepared to attend all sessions.
The Spring 2023 Dissertation Accelerator will take place May 1st-5th from 10am-5pm daily with both in-person and remote options for participation.
