    <div><br></div>
    <div><hr></div>

    <div><strong>Where are the printers?</strong></div>There are printers on the 1st floor, 2nd floor by elevators and behind 259, 7th floor, and in the Retriever Learning Center. (And also in the Commons.)<div><br></div>

    <div>What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?</div>
    <ul>
    <li>What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students.</li>
    <li>Who: WAGs are composed of a group of graduate students (usually 4–8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability.</li>
    <li>Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers.</li>
    <li>When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60–90 minutes for 10–12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.<br>
    </li>
    <li>Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or another videoconferencing platform.</li>
    </ul>

    <div>What are Writing Accountability Group, or WAGs at UMBC?</div>
    <ul>
    <li>What: Writing Accountability Groups (WAGs) are voluntary and facilitated by fellow UMBC graduate students.</li>
    <li>Who: WAGs are composed of a group of graduate students (usually 4–8 participants per group) interested in developing writing habits and accountability.</li>
    <li>Why: Develop habits of writing every day for a short, manageable period of time by setting goals and being accountable to WAG peers.</li>
    <li>When: WAG groups meet once a week for 60–90 minutes for 10–12 weeks. The group finds a weekly time mutually convenient to all group members.<br>
    </li>
    <li>Where: The group decides on a mutually convenient location to meet, whether in person or online via WebEx or another videoconferencing platform.</li>
