The Richard Wright Center for Writing, Rhetoric, and Research
Walk-And-Talk Appointments
If you are like us, you may find yourself sitting too much and not having enough physical activity to stay healthy. Fortunately, intellectual activities, like writing, do not always require sitting down at a table. If you want to talk through ideas and get feedback while also staying physically active, sign up for walk-and-talk appointments. Enjoy physical and emotional benefits of walking and get your academic work done.
What to expect
- We’ll meet in the Richard Wright Center and go from here.
- We’ll walk around campus at a pace that you set.
- We can stop at any time if you need to write something down (you may want to take an electronic or paper notepad with you). You can also record our conversation if you want to listen to it later.
- At the end of the conversation, we’ll return to the center to fill out a reflection form.
- If the weather is bad, we’ll walk in the library.
