FUTURE’s First Event
The inaugural FUTURE of Physics event was held at Caltech November 1 and 2, 2018. During the two day program, 33 undergraduate women participated in a series of panels and workshops on a range of topics from big-picture science, student life, to workshops on preparing applications.
Sophia Gaynes, an undergraduate student from UC Berkeley who took part in the program, recalls:
“Prior to FUTURE, I was feeling unsure of my place in the world of physics, unsure about whether I wanted to go to grad school, and overwhelmed by the process of applying. And now, I feel like I have a better understanding of how to navigate the field as a woman and concrete steps toward applying to grad school.”
