In solidarity with writing centers in Germany, Puget Sound’s Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching (CWLT) will be one of two universities from the US participating in the Long Night Against Procrastination, on March 1.
The Long Night event is designed to help confront those writing tasks we have been procrastinating: papers, grant proposals, homework, and more (we all know what our own specifics are). This event began in Germany in 2009.
At the CWLT, the celebration launches at 3:00 p.m. (German midnight) with German treats, public declarations of non-procrastination, and live interaction with writing centers in Germany. From 4:00 p.m.-midnight, they will be holding regularly scheduled tutoring appointments and writing conferences, and also have special space set aside for those who want uninterrupted time to write quietly, eat some snacks, and stop procrastinating!
