In 2006, the University of Southern California hosted the first CUWiP. The grassroots effort grew quickly, and within just a few years there were six conferences being hosted simultaneously.
In 2012, APS became the institutional home for CUWiP. The CUWiP National Organizing Committee provides support for the organization of the annual conferences and works with APS. At each host institution, a local organizing committee plans and organizes the detailed program for the local conference and is responsible for local fundraising.
CUWiP is an empowering experience for many undergraduate women, as well as graduate students, professors, industry leaders and allies. Read what attendees have to say about their time at CUWiP.
