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. </span><br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#1764c6" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><b><br></b></span></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "><b>We are asking you to help us advertise the conference through your local SPS chapter</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "> - by forwarding this email to your physics majors, encouraging them to apply and discussing the conference in your SPS meetings.
