Come ask upperclassmen all your questions about JLAB and see research projects written by recent students. Food provided!

Have you ever wondered about the process of applying to grad school? Are you unsure about the importance of letters of recommendation or the GRE? Or are you pondering what else you can do after college with a course 8 major? Come to UWIP’s Spring Graduate School Panel to get answers to these and more questions from the Class of 2017! Food (dumplings) will be provided!

Hear this week's colloquium speaker, Deborah Harris (Fermilab), recount the colorful history of neutrinos, from their earliest appearance in the 1900's through today and beyond. Dinner provided!

We will discuss faculty dinners, outreach programs, study breaks, and more! Dinner will also be served!

​Join Women in Aerospace and Undergraduate Women in Physics for a social mixer! The mixer will begin at 7pm in 33-218​. We'll have dinner (Thai and dumplings!) with vegetarian/vegan options available.

Not sure if course 8 is for you? Or already set on being a physics major? Either way... Come join Course 8 upperclassmen and enthusiasts to discuss spring registration, summer opportunities, and future plans. Snacks will be provided.

Join UWIP and SPS next Monday, December 14th for lunch after 8.01, 8.012, 8.02, 8.022, 8.05, and any other Monday morning finals you might have! Come to the PCR at 12:15pm for bagels and cof$

Come to our first movie night of the year! We will have popcorn and drinks and other snacks! Come meet your UWIP exec board and other undergraduates in course 8. Ask questions, get answers, make friends, eat food and watch a movie about a struggling physics professor (they're just like us!)

Movie Synopsis of "A Serious Man": Larry Gopnik, a Midwestern physics teacher, watches his life unravel over multiple sudden incidents. Though seeking meaning and answers amidst his turmoils, he seems to keep sinking.

"Celebrating Einstein" is a series of events and activities taking place before and during the 2015 Cambridge Science Festival to mark the 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, his greatest scientific legacy.

As part of the program’s educational outreach component, we are proud to participate in Einstein in the Classroom. Engaging with a number of middle and high schools in the greater Boston area, local physics students, post docs, and professors culled from local universities and colleges will offering physics activities in various classrooms between February and March 2015 covering relativity, spacetime curvature, the life cycles of stars, the relative sizes of the objects that occupy the observable universe!

UWIP hosted its 3rd annual outreach event for high school students in grades 9-12, an opportunity for students to learn what it means to be a physicist and what it is like to study at MIT. High school students also have a unique opportunity to tour MIT physics labs, hear talks from MIT faculty and graduate students, and participate in exciting physics-related activities. UWIP members share advice about college, life, and physics - as well as delicious LN2 ice cream - with the participants!

Learn more about the program and how you can join, or help out if you are an MIT student, HERE.

What laws of physics are behind how rockets work, or how lightning bolts work? Would you like to see those demonstrated on stage?

Science on Saturday is a free 60-minute presentation with lots of fun demonstrations in which students can volunteer. It is free and open to all elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as their parents and teachers. Hands-on activity booths are available to students after the show. No pre-registration is required, but seating is limited - first come, first seated. Parental/adult escort is required for all children under 12.

PhysEx: Physics Exploration Day for Girls

Date and time: Sunday, Apr 6, 2014, 10:00 AM-4:00 PM

Location: PCR

PhysEx is an opportunity for high school girls (and guys!) to learn about becoming a physicist. Students will have the chance to see the in’s-and-out’s of the life of a female, physics major at MIT.

Women in Academia Panel

Date and time: Wednesday, Oct 16, 2013, 5:00-6:45 PM

Location: 10-250

Listen to Professors Susan Hockfield, Barbara Liskov, Paola Cappellaro and Molly Potter share their insights on women in academia.

Undergraduate Women in Physics presents an interdisciplinary panel of MIT leaders, held in honor of Professor Dresselhaus's contributions to women and junior faculty. The panel will be moderated by Prof. Edmund Bertschinger, the institute Community and Equity Chair.

This is the chance to have your questions answered by distinguished women faculty at MIT. A reception with the panelists will follow the discussion and Q&A session.
