information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas. Conference activities are designed to benefit students at all undergraduate stages, including
freshmen, empowering them to persist and succeed in science careers.</span><span class="" style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></div>

and leading roles in the private sector.</span></div>

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 (to over 1800 students), departmental support is crucial so that we can accept the largest number of students.</span><span class="" style="font-size:12pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif"></span></div>
