Date: 11:30am-1pm, first non-holiday Friday of every month during the semester (no meetings over breaks) 

Location: Gamow Tower, 11th floor, Reading Room

On the first Friday of each month during the semester, we host monthly lunch meetings open to all graduate students, faculty, post-docs, and undergraduates interested in gender inclusion in physics. About half of these meetings feature presentations from various speakers affiliated with the University, while the rest are less formal discussions on relevant themes. Presenters we have hosted at our meetings include the Center for Inclusion and Social Change, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement, researchers from the Psychology Department studying gender identity, the Office of Victim Assistance, the Ombuds office, and Counseling and Psychiatric Services.

Each year CU hosts two weekends for prospective graduate students to visit the campus. The Women and Gender Minorities in Physics group hosts a dinner during the visiting weekend where prospective underrepresented graduate students are invited to eat dinner and mingle with faculty and current graduate students.  

To help support underrepresented undergraduates in physics, the Women and Gender Minorities in Physics group hosts annual ice-cream socials in which undergraduate students in the CU Boulder Physics REU program are invited to meet and socialize with graduate students, post-docs, and faculty over a delicious bowl of ice cream.  

2025 CU*iP Boulder

The CU Boulder WaGMiP student group hosted the 2025 Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics on the CU campus from January 24-26. Thank you to WaGMiP members Iona Binnie, Anya Grafov, Thi Hoang, Margie Bruff, and Willa Dworschack for organizing this incredible event, as well as undergaduates Adalyn Gibson and Allie Plocki and faculty members Dr. Bethany Wilcox and Dr. Alysia Marino.

2017 CUWiP

The CU Women in Physics group hosted the 2017 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics on the CU campus from January 13-15. See here for the webpage and check out our photos page! 

In order to support broader departmental efforts to encourage women and other members of underrepresented groups, the Women and Gender Minorities in Physics group has participated in targeted call sessions for prospective students.  In these sessions, volunteers from the group make personal recruitment calls to all women and members of underrepresented groups who have been accepted to CU and declared an interest in physics in order to encourage them to attend CU and answer any questions they might have about the school.

To further support the existing undergraduate population, the group has also organized and hosted group dinners in which undergraduate students are invited to join women faculty members for dinner.  These dinners help to foster connections women faculty members and interested undergraduate students.

Our group has partnered with two other science community-oriented groups, WiSE, and CU Prime, to co-host monthly happy hours for folks in STEM.  These events are a great way to meet, get to know, and network with others in STEM in an informal setting.  Join us for drinks, appetizers, and good conversation!
