>Dear Carlos,
>I wonder if you could help encourage some of the female undergraduates at
>your institution to consider applying to attend one of the eight
>APS-sponsored Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP) that
>will be held January16-18, 2015:
>http://www.aps.org/programs/women/workshops/cuwip.cfm
>
>One of the 2015 conferences is being hosted by U of Texas at Brownsville:
>http://www.utb.edu/vpaa/csmt/physics/cuwip/Pages/default.aspx. UT
>Brownsville is organizing a great set of tours, panels, workshops and
>presentations, and will host the keynote speaker, Prof. Gabriela Gonzalez
>from Louisiana State University, for the eight-conference webcast.
>
>Your students can apply here:
>http://www.aps.org/programs/women/workshops/cuwipapp.cfm.   The
>application closes October 31, 2014 -- i.e., in less than three weeks.
>Lodging and meals will be provided for participants who are accepted to
>the conference. In the past we have been able to ensure that most
>students had travel support either through their department or through
>the conference.  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.  Considering that the number of applicants
>has risen sharply in recent years, departmental support is crucial so
>that we can accept the largest number of students, but if none is
>available, there is some flexibility in this ‹ no student will be turned
>down because of lack of funding.
>
>The conferences now serve over 1000 participants each year.  Last year I
>got to see first-hand the very positive -- in some cases life-changing --
>impact the conferences have on undergraduate women in physics.  Thank you
>very much for encouraging your physics majors to apply.
