Mentorship

The Mentorship program is a joint collaboration with UDIP and SPS. Undergraduates can choose to be paired with grad student and upperclassmen mentors. This program will consist of social events, advice within regarding success in and outside of the major, and setting yourself up for the future. Mentorship groups will be 4-5 mentees paired with 2 mentors, typically assigned in the middle of Winter quarter. Look out for an email about joining the mentorship program, either as a mentor or a mentee!

Journal Club

Journal club will be meeting weekly, with meetings alternating between formal presentation and discussion of a specific paper led by a single student, and casual, unstructured meetings where the members can discuss their research interests with each other. We are encouraging physics students at all levels of background to attend! You have the opportunity to lead a discussion on a research paper of your choice!

Meeting Times: TBA
