Women In Physics
And Astronomy 116 Church St SE |
2009-2010 Officers: Elizabeth Smith (Coordinator) Qing Xu Jolene Johnson Chaoyun Bao Ilana Percher |
The Women in Physics and Astronomy (WiPA) group was established to raise awareness throughout the entire school of not only the important contributions women have made and continue to make in physics and astronomy, but also about the various mechanisms that make it difficult for women to make those contributions. Planned activities raise the visibility of women within the school and encourage interactions amongst female graduate students, faculty and/or research associates. It is hoped that the Women in Physics and Astronomy group will encourage a respectful climate for women in the school. |
