Hybrid Writing Cafés
In today's fast-paced world it is more important than ever to build structure into your day and maintain ties to social writing communities. To help you stay connected and motivated, the WCC offers three hybrid witing café sessions each week where graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty can write together, support eachother, and get support from the WCC.
Pick up a #WaterlooWrites incentive card at one of the WCC’s on-campus pick-up days or download the digital version. Each time you show up online and write, you'll earn a “stamp” on your card. Fill up your card with 12 “stamps” to receive a #WaterlooWrites coffee mug to show off your dedication and fuel future writing sessions!

In addition to the in-person sessions, we host these sessions in a virtual classroom in LEARN.
