Poster for the 2025 CU*IP conference
JILA and the University of Colorado Boulder Physics Department are excited to co-host the upcoming CU*IP conference in January 2025. This three-day event focuses on talks, workshops, and community building for undergraduate women and gender minorities in physics. As part of the American Physical Society's Conferences for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*IP), the conference aims to support and inspire students to continue in the field.
Attendees can look forward to a national keynote, engaging plenary sessions, networking opportunities, and guidance on graduate school and career pathways. CU*IP Boulder will cover meals and accommodations, with travel support available to ensure no one misses out due to financial constraints. The event promises a welcoming environment to connect with peers, mentors, and professionals, enriching the future of physics.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
