APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP): Student Applications Open September 3

APS CUWiPs are three-day regional conferences at multiple sites across the U.S. and Canada, and are designed to increase the recruitment and retention of undergraduate women in physics. The 2019 APS CUWiPs will be held at twelve universities during January 18 - 20. The conferences will provide great opportunities for women in physics to network, as well as learn from scientific presentations, panel discussions, graduate school fairs, and career expos! Applications are open September 3 - October 12 at the CUWiP page.
