Please describe why someone applying to graduate school who is interested in a female-friendly department should choose your department.
We are a small department with a highly collegial atmosphere and informal interaction of faculty and all students is strongly supported, including a weekly social time. We make every effort to support all individuals. Addressing the needs of women in particular, the University and the Department have been actively involved in increasing the representation of women in STEM fields, with efforts ranging from a Women in Science program for 7-12 grade students to federally-funded efforts to identify and remove obstacles to the success of female faculty.
Has the institution had a Climate for Women in Physics Site Visit or Gender Equity Conversation?
