If you happen to be counting, we've just hit week 6 of the semester--and we're closing in on midterm (already!). While you're likely starting to feel a bit in the weeds as the midterm assignments begin to roll in, you may have also been inspired by last Friday's mini-symposium to find ways to keep your scholarly agenda moving forward even in the heat of the semester. If so, I hope you'll join our October UR Writing Challenge, which starts this Wednesday. For the entire month of October, we'll support each other as we integrate regular writing practice into our busy semester. There will be three writing retreats (October 1, 10, and 30) during the month of the Challenge, and some exciting prizes for participants.

The media relations team recently launched a new article format on the University newsroom — the Research Brief. These research highlights will be pitched to relevant media and may be seen by media seeking experts and story ideas. The media team would be delighted to consider a research brief for faculty members who have a journal article or book forthcoming or recently published (about a month on either side) that has media potential.
