WAGs are small, voluntary groups of graduate students (3-8 participants) who commit to writing regularly by setting goals and holding each other accountable. Join us today for lunch to kickoff your accountability groups, or join virtually here!
Publishing your work is considered one of the primary pillars of a research project, graduate students are often hunted by policies and recommendations to publish several papers as part of their graduate experience, some use their publications as part of their thesis or dissertation and some programs even require students to be a first author in order to be considered for graduation from a PhD program.
How do you even start the process of writing a publication? What are impact factors and how do you decide if your data is impactful enough to be submitted to a particular publication or journal? We have invited a panel of productive and avid publishing faculty at UMBC from our CAHSS college to talk about these and other topics, the intention of this event is to demystify the publishing hardship, learn how to overcome perfectionism (when is my paper ready to be submitted for publication?), learn how to process criticism, how to manage your time to be more productive (when am I supposed to find the time to sit down and write?), how to overcome writers block, and more.
Join for a discussion with our panelists:
We have encountered an unexpected technical issue with our film screening. It appears that the version we booked may not support screencasting to the projector as originally planned. While we are still working to resolve this, we want to ensure everyone has a way to participate.
As a backup plan, we kindly ask attendees to bring their own device (BYOD) if possible. You will have the option to:
• Join us in the screening space to watch the film together as a community with your own devices while enjoying popcorn.
• Access the film individually through the provided link and watch remotely at your convenience.
Here’s the link to the movie! Just click on "Get a Ticket," enter some basic information or sign in with Google/Facebook, and you're all set!
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this situation. We will provide further updates as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation!

THE RIDE AHEAD, a documentary that follows Samuel Habib, a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out, start a career, and find love. But no one tells you how to be an adult, let alone an adult with a disability.
Samuel is determined to avoid the statistical realities: unemployment, isolation, institutionalization. He seeks out wisdom through conversations with disabled mentors: comedian Maysoon Zayid, Americans with Disabilities Act legends Judy Heumann and Bob Williams; Tony-winning wheelchair-using pioneer Ali Stroker; hip-hop artist Keith Jones; autistic, queer activist Lydia X.Z. Brown; and marathon runner and disability activist Andrew Peterson.
