Events, webinars, and workshops, oh, my!

Writers' Room Hangouts
Regardless of what you are writing or working on, you may want company to keep you focused and in community. "Body-doubling" sounds like sci-fi, but working in the same space with others can significantly boost productivity, especially for those with ADHD! Hangouts also provide meeting space and drop-in tutoring opportunities!
Hangouts follow a simple approach:
Participants may communicate in the chat, but the main room is a safe, quiet workspace.
Participants are welcome to go to a table (breakout room) to meet with friends, class groups, or a professor.
A writing expert is always available to provide individual tutoring assistance.
