APS CUWiP AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

WELCOME TO THE APS CONFERENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN IN PHYSICS

JANUARY 20-22, 2023
SEATTLE, WA

Dedicated to Professors Ann Nelson and Lillian McDermott

The conference is coming up soon, see the conference schedule here!

The American Physical Society (APS) CUWiP conference provides undergraduate women 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.

The 2023 program hosted by the University of Washington physics department will 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. See the full schedule here.

The University of Washington has a campus in Seattle, Washington, where the conference is taking place. We are in the Pacific Time Zone (PST). For travel information, see our travel page.

How to attend the 2023 CUWiP conference

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 tickets or plan to be at a specific site until you receive an email confirming you have been accepted to a specific CUWiP site. You will apply through the national APS site by completing an application form by 2:00pm PST (5:00pm EST) on Monday, October 31st, 2022. If your application is accepted, you will then be assigned to one of the regional CUWiP conferences. If you are assigned to the Seattle conference, you will then need to register for this conference.

Applications and registration are now closed.
We are looking forward to meeting you at CUWiP 2023 in Seattle in January!
