Community-Engaged Scholarship Fall Writing Retreat – Oct 29-30

Posted by Michigan State University on September 29, 2026

We’ve reserved 2 days in late October (Thursday, October 29–Friday, October 30, 2026) to step away from the demands of work and home to focus on your writing at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, 701 West Cloverdale Rd, Hastings, MI (about 90 minutes from campus).

University Outreach and Engagement and The Writing Center invite Michigan Sate University (MSU) and non-MSU faculty, Extension and academic staff, post-docs, and graduate students to join us for this community-engaged scholarship writing retreat.

Bring whatever you are working on: public or practitioner pieces, journal articles, book projects, teaching and learning materials, Extension pieces, theses or dissertations, grant proposals, conference papers—anything that deserves your focused writing time in a community of engaged writers.

All levels of writers are welcome and encouraged to attend. Writing Center consultants will be available to support your writing success. Throughout the retreat, we build connections among the writers so that even while you are writing on your own, you feel like you are part of a supportive community.
