Over MLK weekend a group of UWiP members traveled to UC Santa Cruz to attend the western regional Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP). The conference consisted of learning about cutting-edge physics research from both esteemed professors as well as undergraduate peers, panels about post-undergrad pathways into academia and industry, as well as chances to meet other other women in physics from all walks of life with whom attendees could share experiences, advice, and ideas.

This year’s CUWiP was also an invaluable learning experience as the club prepares to host the 2016 western regional CUWiP at UCSD. (WHOOOO!!!!!!one!!)
