The Women in Physics (WiP) group closed the academic year with good company: both social and professional.

On May 8 the group hosted the spring 2025 edition of the Women in Physics lunch. These biannual get-togethers allow undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-docs and faculty, to share experiences and advice while enjoying great food. A record 40+ people attended. The next meeting will be December 3, 2025, where WiP hopes to attract even more attendees.

Among the discussion topics was the WiP Mentorship Program, which held its end-of-term meeting two days prior. The Undergraduate Women in Physics group spearheaded this program and launched it this semester. Interested undergraduate and graduate students, as well as post-docs, sign up and are assigned to a small group led by a faculty member. Each group gathers about once a month to discuss a variety of subjects that impact the development of a physicist and to exchange ideas, experiences, and guidance. 

WiP enjoys department support and its programs are open to anyone interested in building a stronger physics community.
