CUWiP2019

The Physics Department hosted the APS sponsored Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) over the Jan 18 - 20, 2019 weekend. Hosted by UMass Amherst in collaboration with Smith, Amherst and Mt Holyoke Colleges, the event was abbreviated because of the season's first major snowstorm. We still had 190 Physics majors fill the classrooms of the Integrative Learning Center as they took part in workshops and panel discussions, listened to four inspiring plenary speakers, experienced LHC through virtual reality headsets, tinkered with Arduinos, and attended a Networking and Graduate School Fair. Further details of what took place are on our conference website, http://blogs.umass.edu/cuwip/, and in a Science Scene story on the CNS website.
