Attend the conference
The APS Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP), pronounced as "q-ip" or "q-wip," is a national conference tailored for undergraduate physics majors. All undergraduate students who are excited to build a welcoming, inclusive physics community and connect with peers who share their interests are encouraged to attend. The conference offers opportunities to connect with mentors, explore educational and career paths, and network with fellow physics students to share knowledge and experiences. Applications open in winter 2027.
