Boot Camp

Chimdi Kalu

MS, Chemistry 

Boot camp training was what I really needed because it created an atmosphere for me to successfully write my thesis.  It drew my attention to all of the necessary information, software, tools, websites, and databases that I needed for my thesis.  It provided me with faculty members that taught and guided me on how to use latest tools for my bibliography.

 

• What is Boot Camp?

  Boot Camp is dedicated time and space for writing. It is accompanied by a series of workshops that provide information to help graduate students get started, stay on track, and finish their thesis, dissertation, or capstone project.

  Boot Camp also offers access to the dedicated faculty and staff, who are the best resources for graduate-level writing.

• Why attend Boot Camp?

  To help writing progress leading to completion of a thesis, a dissertation, or capstone project.

  The best way to know how to decide if boot camp is right for you is to ask your committee or hear from past campers. Although the structure for Boot Camp continues to evolve, the resources are still invauable and the library is still the best place on campus to get your work done!  Click here to find out what others have said about boot camp.
