The Lake Shift is a thesis writing retreat for doctoral students from Ontario universities hosted by Queen’s School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (SGSPA). The retreat provides doctoral students with structured time to write, workshops on tips for effective dissertation writing, opportunities to network with other doctoral students, all in a beautiful location. The objective of the retreat is to enable doctoral students to make substantial progress in writing their thesis and to develop foundations to maintain that momentum. The fringe benefits of The Lake Shift include swimming, boating, hiking and campfire conversations and make for a balance of the cerebral with the physical and social for a well-rounded experience.
