West, Midwest and Northeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics

该奖项支持为期两天的物理学女本科生会议，会议的重点是从本科生到研究生学习的关键过渡。2008年1月19日至20日，密歇根大学、南加州大学(USC)和耶鲁大学将各自主办一次本科生物理女性会议(CUWP)。这三个会议的共同目标是鼓励年轻女性申请研究生院，为她们提供一个激励和支持的场所，让她们了解物理学高级职业带来的令人兴奋的可能性。为实现这一目标，会议的目标是与会者带着：提高了对当前物理学研究和职业选择的认识。更熟悉研究生院的经历..申请研究生院并在研究生院取得成功的资源，以及物理专业女性的一般资源。物理领域的女性网络。为期两天的活动将汇聚全美物理学专业的女本科生，了解当前物理学领域的研究和职业机会，研究生院的申请过程和经验，以及物理领域女性的资源。参加会议的女性将有机会展示原创研究，与其他学生讨论物理话题，并结识其他在物理学领域拥有更高职业生涯的成功女性。

This award supports a two-day conference for undergraduate women in physics that focuses on the critical transition from undergraduate to graduate study. On January 19-20, 2008, the University of Michigan, the University of Southern California (USC) and Yale University will each host a Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWP). The unifying aim of the three conferences is to encourage young women to apply to graduate school by providing a stimulating and supportive venue for them to learn about the exciting possibilities presented by advanced careers in physics. Towards this goal, the conference objectives are that participants leave with:. Increased awareness of current research and career options in physics.. Greater familiarity with the graduate school experience.. Resources for applying to and being successful in graduate school as well asgeneral resources for women in physics.. A network of women in physics.The two-day event will bring together female undergraduate students in physics fromacross the US to learn about current research and career opportunities in physics, thegraduate school application process and experience, and resources for women in physics.Women attending the conferences will have the opportunity to present original research,discuss physics topics with other students, and meet other successful women with more advanced careers in physics.
