Pathways to Progress
Pathways to Progress
What are the most pressing global problems? Who should we consider when making moral decisions? Where are we headed as a species, and can we change it?
If you’re interested in exploring questions like these, the Department of Political Economy & Moral Science and Tucson Effective Altruism are excited to offer the Pathways to Progress Fellowship, a program centered around making the biggest difference we can using our limited time and resources. We will explore practical ethics across an array of problem profiles, such as Global Health & Development, Animal Welfare, Catastrophic Risks, and even Artificial Intelligence! The program will provide support for impact-oriented career planning and networking.
You may optionally participate in this program for 3 units of academic credits with A-E grading. If you opt for credits, the course number will be PPEL 497/597.
To participate in the program, apply here by our deadline — 31st of January, 2026. You can find all relevant links here: http://linktr.ee/tea_at_ua.

APS CU*iP
APS CU*iP
The APS Conference for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP) will be taking place next March 14-15, 2026, in Denver, Colorado. Unlike previous years, there will only be one CU*iP in 2026, rather than a series of concurrent regional conferences. The conference will take place the Saturday-Sunday immediately before the APS Global Physics Summit, which also takes place in Denver, CO.
The department strongly encourages interested students, especially women and gender minorities, to apply to attend this year’s CU*iP. The department will cover the $45 registration fee. Similar to past CU*iPs, APS will cover lodging and meals for attendees. Because of the back-to-back timing of CU*iP and the APS Global Summit, we especially encourage students to apply to attend both CU*iP and the Summit and to present a contributed research talk at the Summit. The department can support travel costs for up to 5 students (up to 2 students without a research presentation at the Summit) for up to $300/student, with preference given to students with a research presentation at the APS Summit.
Applications to attend CU*iP open on Monday, Nov 10. Please note that APS is limiting space at this year’s conference due to it being a pilot for the new single event format. If you are admitted to the conference, please reach out as soon as possible to Melissa Walton (melissawalton@arizona.edu) regarding the financial support.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions to either the APS CU*iP Attendee information page or to myself (Rachel Hyneman, rhyneman@arizona.edu) or the department head (Shufang Su, shufang@arizona.edu).
Undergraduate Research Travel Grants
Undergraduate Research Travel Grants
Do you want to attend or present at a conference this spring?
Check out the Undergraduate Research Travel Grants program. These grants support student travel (up to $1,000) to conferences or other professional development events. The program is open to all undergraduate students working with a faculty or staff mentor on research or other scholarly or creative activities. Although many students plan to present their work at an event, they also prioritize some non-presenting students who wish to attend events for networking and professional development. Applications will open in January! They currently have the capacity to award $10,000 toward student travel in Spring 2026 – more if they can identify additional partners.

2026 Service Learning Trips
2026 Service Learning Trips
Over Spring Break, students will have the opportunity to travel to Guatemala to put the finishing touches on a primary school we’ve been building for the past few years. Right after finals in May, students will have the opportunity to travel to rural Costa Rica for 10 days to support sustainable coffee farming practices and restoration of the Cloud Forest.
Both trips include service work in the morning and several excursions and cultural experiences for travelers in the afternoons. Students do not earn U of A academic credit and there is no language requirement. Students find these trips to be truly transformational!
