EKU Faculty Writer’s Retreat

The Office of the Provost, the College of Business, EKU Libraries, and the Noel Studio for Academic Creativity have partnered to offer an EKU Faculty Writer's Retreat, May 19, 20, and 21 in the EKU Library. 

Think of this retreat as an “academic incarceration”! We provide you with a private space in the Main Library – away from the distractions of your office – to focus only on your writing. 

For three days, this “academic incarceration” will provide private space in the Main Library to focus on your writing project, grant application, or the finishing touches of your latest draft.  In return, you agree to write - and leave the grading, email, meetings, and social media at home, or in your office.   

Arriving at the retreat with very specific writing tasks, whether conceptualizing and drafting a new manuscript or completing final revisions to a long-standing work, will allow you to maximize this opportunity.  

All instructional faculty are welcome to apply - preference will be given to faculty preparing for a major review and to new faculty establishing a writing program. 

Access the application. 

Applications are due by April 18, 2025.
