 This month's meeting will be Thursday, September 26, at 7 PM at the Black Dog Cafe (off Monroe, next to the American Legion). Meetings tend to run from an hour to an hour and a half. Coming late or leaving early is perfectly acceptable. Come prepared to talk about your progress toward your goal. Come even if you did not meet your goal--let's talk about what happened! If you were not present at the previous meeting, come to catch us up on what you've been doing! Students at all stages of the dissertation process are welcome.Meetings are generally in the fourth week of the month and rotate between Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays to accommodate disparate member schedules. The meeting places vary between different cafes and coffeehouses in town.Email Rachel Sutz at rss7071@mailer.fsu.edu to be added to the group email list.New people are always welcome and you can be at any stage in the dissertation process. And , remember, the group is NOT just for women any more. [Yes, we are still predominantly female in membership, but men can participate as full members and are very welcome.]In addition to discussing everyone's progress [or possible reasons for the lack thereof], we will also be talking about a Fall Dissertation Retreat--a one-day deal that promises to be very productive! Background: The dissertation support group began in 1999 as an interdisciplinary campus wide student-run group for women (see the FSU Women's Studies web site for more details). The group became coed in 2000, and has remained open to all students at any stage of the dissertaion process since that time. Members attend meetings as their schedule permits and utilize the email list to stay in touch, ask questions, and share progress reports.Note: We will continue to have a women only group for those who are interested. Please contact Rachel if you want to attend such a meeting. Late Arrivals are Welcome. Occasional drop-ins at these gatherings are also welcome. We don't want people to feel as if this is one more commitment in their already overloaded schedules. Come when you can!If anyone has preferences for the time and location during the the semester, please email Rachel Sutz at: rss7071@mailer.fsu.edu or call or 321-3582.For a great article on dissertation support groups and their benefits, visit www.nextwave.org If you do not have a university site license, you can connect at "nwdemo" with the password "13rose1".
