Who We Are
The Department of Physics is seeking support for the Physics Bridge Program and Women in Physics. In the field of Physics, Black, Hispanic and Indigenous American students are seriously underrepresented. The American Physics Society Bridge Program began in 2013 as an answer to the growing gap between physics bachelor’s degrees and Ph.D.s obtained by underrepresented minority students, a gap that can currently be filled through the completion of 45-50 more Physics Ph.D. degrees. UT Austin became a partner institute of the Bridge Program in 2021. The Women in Physics group is comprised of faculty, staff, graduate students and postdocs who are interested in the various issues related to women in the field of Physics.
What We're Fundraising For
The Physics Bridge Program is designated to attract underrepresented students to physics graduate programs and we are raising funding to support a three-week summer bootcamp to prepare first-year graduate students for the rigorous UT courses and cultivate a welcoming community. Our best instructors will provide lectures in the morning and research internships in the afternoons providing students the opportunity to explore research programs before the fall semester officially begins. Our fundraising goal for each summer camp is $15K per year. The duration of the program is ~2 years long and suitable for students with a B.S. in Physics. Students who graduate from the program will receive a master's degree in physics and be encouraged to pursue a Ph.D. degree in UT Austin or elsewhere.
For Women in Physics, the APS CUWiP provides undergraduate women in Physics information about graduate school and professions in Physics and the opportunity to attend a professional conference. The conference provides networking opportunities to connect with other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice and ideas in a welcoming environment for all, including undergraduate women and gender minorities.
Your Impact
Your contribution to the Physics Bridge Program and/or Women in Physics will help to create a more welcoming environment for students from all different backgrounds who love physics and science.
