CUWiP Leverages Online Format to Build International Connections
By Leah Poffenberger
The Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics have been operating since 2006, with APS as their institutional home since 2012, to empower undergraduate women to continue their studies in physics. Typically, CUWiP conferences take place at 13 different sites across the United States and Canada on the same weekend, with students traveling to the CUWiP site closest to their home institution. This year, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, CUWiP was held online for the first time, allowing all attendees to interact through various virtual avenues. The online format also added another first: CUWiP became a truly international conference, with attendees signing on from 17 countries.
