Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP)

A typical program will include research talks by faculty, panel discussions about graduate school and careers in physics, presentations and discussions about women in physics, laboratory tours, student research talks, a student poster session, and several meals during which presenters and students interact with each other.

Support

Support for the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics has been provided by the host institutions, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Science in the Department of Energy.

The Yale University Physics Department is spearheading a separate fund drive to support the Northeastern CUWiP and summer research by a female Yale undergraduate in the physical sciences.

Organization

In 2012, APS became the institutional home for CUWiP. The CUWiP National Organizing Committee provides support for the organization of the annual conferences and works with APS. At each host institution, a local organizing committee plans and organizes the detailed program for the local conference and is responsible for local fundraising.
