In January Michigan Tech’s Physics Department hosted about 100 future physicists at one of 15 Conferences for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP) being held nationwide in 2025. The American Physical Society chose Michigan Tech for this three-day regional networking event based on application criteria including facilities and available funding, faculty participation, and institutional support for the conference’s goals.
We’re pleased to share that the American Physical Society has chosen Michigan Tech as a host institution for one of fifteen Conferences for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP) being held nationwide in 2025. CU*iP are three-day regional events for undergraduate women and gender minority physics majors to network and build their careers in physics.
The conference will be held January 24 – 26 with applications opening August 26. Detailed information can be found at the CU*iP at Michigan Tech website. Members of the Michigan Tech community are invited to apply to attend the conference, which will feature a grad school and career carnival in addition to the structured programming.
CU*iP conferences are sponsored in part by the National Science Foundation and by the Department of Energy. CU*iP at Michigan Tech is also made possible by support from multiple divisions within the university.
WiP at MTU hosts monthly Tutorials (open to all MTU students) to help build technical skills. Recent tutorials have featured introductions to Latex, MATLAB, and in Fall 2024 we’re featuring Python. We also invite speakers to campus about once a semester to tell us about exciting careers and build connections off campus. We provide community outreach to local schools. All of our programming is aimed at promoting women and gender minorities who want to pursue careers in STEM fields. Meetings and events are open to all students at MTU.
