Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics being held Winter 2010

该奖项将资助为期两天的女性物理学本科生会议，该会议将于2010年1月16日至17日在加州大学圣克鲁斯分校(UCSC)、俄亥俄州立大学(OSU)、北卡罗来纳研究三角(NCRT)和耶鲁大学同时举行。这次会议有两个首要目标。一个目标是给年轻女性信心、动力和资源，让她们申请研究生院并成功完成物理学或相关学科的博士学位。另一个目标是让物理学专业的本科生女性更多地意识到她们可以获得的广泛的职业机会。这些会议将仿照过去四年在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校(UIUC)、密歇根大学、南加州大学(USC)和耶鲁大学举行的会议。这次会议的目的是尽可能多地接触到物理学领域的女性群体，组织者承诺以最低的费用为与会者提供进入会议的机会，以确保缺乏资金不会阻碍参与。该奖项由物理学部、材料研究部和天文科学部支持。

This award provides funding for the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics, a two-day conference for undergraduate women in physics taking place on January 16-17, 2010 simultaneously at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), the Ohio State University (OSU), the North Carolina Research Triangle (NCRT), and Yale University. The conference has two overarching goals. One goal is to give young women the confidence, motivation, and resources to apply to graduate school and successfully complete a Ph.D. in physics or a related discipline. The other goal is to make undergraduate women in physics more aware of the wide range of career opportunities available to them. The conferences will be modeled on previous conferences at the University of Illinois, Urbana (UIUC), University of Michigan, the University of Southern California (USC), and Yale over the past four years. This conference is intended to reach as diverse a group of women in physics as possible, and the organizers are committed to providing access to the conference at minimal cost to the participants to assure that a lack of funds does not discourage participation. This award is supported by the Division of Physics, the Division of Materials Research, and the Division of Astronomical Sciences.
