About GWIP
Graduate Womxn in Physics (GWIP) aims to build community and support gender inclusivity among Physics graduate students at MIT. This group is open to all Physics graduate students who support and are committed to this mission.
GWIP hosts a number of social, academic, and outreach events throughout the year. We share casual meals every two weeks. Our faculty advisor, Prof. Anna Frebel, leads a series of career development workshops. We also run a mentoring program with the MIT Undergraduate Women in Physics (UWIP).
