          <div class="html-content">
          <p>The Dresher Center for the Humanities will once again host a writing group during the 2025 Winter Session. This would be a writing accountability group format where we come together and write.</p>
          <p>The format is flexible, but the group would ideally work twice a week for 90 minutes in a hybrid format. The Dresher Center conference room (PAHB 216) could be available for those interested in writing together on campus. Additionally, lunch will be offered after one of the writing sessions.</p>
          <p>This writing groups open to faculty, graduate students, and staff working on humanities-related projects.</p>
