About CUWiP
The Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) are an annual program of the American Physical Society (APS) to help undergraduate women continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas. The national and local organizing committees of APS CUWiP strive to create a welcoming environment for all, including undergraduate women and gender minorities.
All meals and accommodation (Friday and Saturday nights) during the conference are organized and the costs are met by CUWiP. Travel to the conference is usually paid for by your home department, and if this is not possible there are funds available to support travel to CUWiP (see details here) so no one has to miss out on CUWiP for financial reasons. There is a $45 registration fee, which can be waived if necessary; to request a fee waiver, please contact women@aps.org.
Eleven sites across the United States and one in Canada will simultaneously host CUWiP on January 20-22, 2023. Activities 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. All sites will participate virtually in the keynote address to be given by Prof. Nadya Mason.
UC Merced and the Department of Physics value diversity and are committed to making all CUWiP participants feel safe and welcome here. We hope to see you here in January!
CUWiP has become incredibly popular. In order to maximize the number of CUWiP participants we can accommodate, we will allocate participants to sites based on travel logistics and site capacity. Please do not purchase travel or plan to be at a specific site until you receive an email confirming you have been accepted to a specific CUWiP site.
