Please describe why someone applying to graduate school who is interested in a female-friendly department should choose your department.
We have a good fraction of female grad (and undergrad, by the way) students, as well as at least one female faculty member in each of the three professorial ranks. We care about work & life issues - example: several years our Dept. Administrator (female) was nominated for an annual, university-wide Work+Life Manager/Supervisor Award.
Has the institution had a Climate for Women in Physics Site Visit or Gender Equity Conversation?
