What Clients Are Saying
"Participating in Paper Chase has been one of the most formative and unique experiences of my doctoral journey. Throughout my program, I often received feedback on my writing from professors or advisors, but I rarely saw how they write or think through the writing process. While we are frequently told what a manuscript should include, we’re rarely shown tangible demonstrations or given space to learn collaboratively. What made Paper Chase so impactful was that it offered a real-time window into the writing process, not just through feedback after a draft, but through open dialogue and development with faculty and peers." - Graduate student, virtual Sprint​
​
"It's shown that it can be done quickly. You can sort of move through these thought process pieces quickly, and the benefit of having multiple authors, not only just for the writing, but to bounce ideas off of, sentence structure…I have more trust in co-authors in terms of letting certain aspects of the writing go." - Faculty, in person Sprint
"As facilitators, Alicia and Jessamyn know how to effectively lead a team through the paper chase, taking the organizational burden off of you, while helping keep the group's spirits and motivation high." -Faculty, virtual Sprint
​
"Going through the paper chase has helped me realize that my style of writing isn't the only effective way to communicate...It also gives me a better perspective on how the students I work with think and feel during the writing process. It's easy to forget how intimidating writing can be and the Paper Chase provides a much-needed perspective that allows me to more effectively coach students in their writing outside of the paper chase environment." - Faculty, virtual Sprint
​
"We didn't know what we were getting to in terms of why [our results] mattered. But having those rotating groups and conversations... the story got worked out in process." - Faculty, virtual Sprint
