Outcome of the Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics

The APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiPs) are simultaneous regional conferences designed to help undergraduate students continue in physics by providing them the opportunity to network with other physicists, learn about career options and graduate school, discuss issues associated with underrepresentation in science, and participate in professional development activities. CUWiP attendance has been steadily increasing since the first conference in 2006. In recent years, the CUWiPs have served approximately 2000 undergraduate students throughout the US and Canada each year. In this talk, I'll give an overview of the APS CUWiPs, typical programming, and impact. I'll also discuss the role of the National Organizing Committee and individual host sites, as well as how to apply to host a CUWiP.
