The event will open with an informal dinner with current UMN female graduate students, UMN physics faculty, and metro-area female undergraduates.� This will be a good opportunity to meet and interact with other women in your field.�
After dinner we will be hosting laboratory tours of various UMN physics research groups including condensed matter, biological physics, and cosmology labs.� The lab tours will be followed by a panel discussion on physics research and physics graduate school. This will be an excellent opportunity to ask questions about physics research, graduate school applications, and grad school life in general.�
While we will offer information primarily about the University of Minnesota graduate program, this event will have a broader focus for students interested in other schools and opportunities as well.
