Dear all,

At Louisiana State University, we are excited to host the 2014 South Central Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (see http://www.phys.lsu.edu/cuwip/index.html), January 17-19, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The conference will explore career opportunities for physicists through lots of activities, such as tours of national labs, research presentations, discussion panels and lots of opportunities for networking. Discussion panels will include topics such as applying for and succeeding in graduate school, how to get involved in undergraduate research or Summer programs, and the multitude of careers available to physicists. 

We are asking you to help us advertise the conference through your local SPS chapter - by forwarding this email to your physics majors, encouraging them to apply and discussing the conference in your SPS meetings. We are also attaching a poster which we hope can be prominently displayed in your building.

The South-Central CUWiP will be one of eight regional conferences all taking place simultaneously and sponsored through the American Physical Society. The aim of the CUWiPs is to allow undergraduate women physicists to meet, network with, and be inspired by both peers and established women scientists. 

Food and accommodation will be provided for participants who are accepted to the conference. There is a $25 fee associated with registration for the conference (application is free). Physics departments are strongly encouraged to provide support for travel for their own students so that we can provide support where the need is greatest.

The application period is open September 1 to November 1, 2013 - check out our website, http://www.phys.lsu.edu/cuwip/index.html as soon as possible!

Please send any questions on the LSU conference to SPS President Hannah Gardiner, hgardi1 at lsu.edu, or Faculty Conference Chair Mette Gaarde, gaarde at phys.lsu.edu. 

We hope to see many of you in January,

Hannah Gardiner, President Society of Physics Students
Amy LeBleu, Public Relations Society of Physics Students
