Thirty graduate students participated in Dissertation on the Lake held Aug. 25-28 at the Elbow Lake Environmental Education Centre 30 minutes north of Kingston. The pilot program hosted by the School of Graduate Studies allowed participants to get away from the distractions of daily life and write in a tranquil setting. 

Participants "brought their own work habits and goals, and used the beautiful site and bottomless coffee to their advantage," writes master's student Rana Pishva in a guest post on the SGH Gradifying blog. Read more about her experience at Dissertation on the Lake.
