 the structure and motivation to overcome typical roadblocks in the

 goals\, and offer support to build structures of accountability within a 
 community of writers.\n\nAttendance from 9:00am-1:00pm each day is 
 mandatory. Participants should not plan to arrive late or leave early. 
 Participants are welcome to continue writing each day through 4:30pm.

 Learning Resources Center\, and the Graduate & Professional Student 
 Assembly (GAPSA). \n\nAfter we have reviewed your application\, you will

 hardship- contact mwooten@upenn.edu to request a code for a waiver.\n\nWho
