GWIP+ is a group aimed at building community among women and other gender minority graduate students in the UMBC Physics Department, and increasing participation by gender minorities in graduate physics programs and physics careers.

Each year, GWIP+ hosts a number of events including:

  • Casual lunches and dinners for building community
  • Career development workshops and guest speakers
  • Hosting seminars and colloquia
  • Outreach and mentoring to undergraduate women physics majors at UMBC
  • Outreach activities for girls at local K-12 schools

 

GWIP+ is staying connected through a discord chat.
