Academic Skills Center:
Peer Live Events

Mentors host events on academic success skills applicable to all students, as well as some specific degree-level events.

Registration for Peer Live Events is open to all Walden University students.

Doctoral Writing Groups

Audience:  Doctoral Students

If you’re a doctoral student working on your assignments, dissertation, or doctoral capstone study, these sessions are for you! Join a Doctoral Peer Mentor in Zoom for structured writing time where you can write in the company of other doctoral students. At the beginning and end of the session, you will be invited to set a goal for yourself and share your self-reflections, but the rest of the session is devoted to independent work on your writing. Register today for one or more of these sessions to have scheduled writing time, overcome the isolation that is often present during writing, and make progress on your document!

Hosting live events allows me to help fellow students in real-time with issues relevant to them at that moment. It allows everyone in attendance to glean from each other's experiences.

-Sherry Wilson, Peer Mentor



I love hosting live events because they allow me to feel a greater connection to my peers and share knowledge that I think is extremely helpful. But my favorite part is learning from them too!

-Ash Pena, Peer Mentor
