This is the 2nd regional WiP conference to be held at Allegheny. The goal of the conference is to encourage and support women to continue in physics. This conference will provide women with featured talks by prominent female physicists, the opportunity to present their own research, a workshop on negotiation and communication skills, and panels on careers in physics and women in STEM. Those in attendance will also have the opportunity to network with other fellow physicists as well as many leaders in academia and industry in an environment where all can share their experiences, advice, and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), WiP @ Allegheny is excited to offer a seminar on negotiation and communication skills for women! The American Physical Society (APS) has trained women in physics to host professional skills seminars for students and postdocs. Professional Skills Development Seminars are highly interactive workshops where participants will learn how to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Negotiate a graduate, postdoc, or professional position in academia, industry, or at a national lab<\/li>\n<li>Interact positively on teams and with a mentor or advisor<\/li>\n<li>Think tactically<\/li>\n<li>Enhance personal presence<\/li>\n<li>Develop alliances<\/li>\n<li>Achieve professional goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This seminar will be held on Saturday, November 9th, from 1 to 3 pm. If you would like to attend, please register for WiP @ Allegheny, making sure to indicate that you will only be attending the seminar, rather than the full-day conference. We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n<a target=\"_self\" class=\"button button-lg block gold \" href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSc__KMXN3dV9dlZnh0eryIGcChdSQUA53cwDr_JtEWN4VuWSA\/viewform\"> Register for WiP@AC <\/a>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><small><i class=\"fa fa-info-circle ltblue\"><\/i> Registration is free and is due Thursday, October 31st.<\/small><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><hr class=\"large\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"column-short column-two-thirds\">\n<hr class=\"ltblue mt0\" \/>\n<div class=\"box box-blue box-align-\"><div class=\"h4-title\"><span>Poster Session, Specialty Talks, and Career Panel<\/span><\/div><p>\n<p>Participation in the poster session must be funded by home institution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-info-circle ltblue\"><\/i> Sponsored in part by the Barbara Lotze Endowed Lectureship Fund<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"column-short column-one-third   column-last  \">\n<div class=\"box box-default box-align-\"><div class=\"h4-title\"><span>Contact Information<\/span><\/div><p>\n<ul class=\"fa-ul mb0\">\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-li fa-envelope\"><\/i><a href=\"mailto:apoynor@allegheny.edu\">Dr. Adele Poynor<\/a><i class=\"fa fa-li fa-envelope\"><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"clearcolumnfloats\"><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to announce the 2019 Women in Physics (WiP) Conference at Allegheny College!

degree and usually requires a minimum of 62\u00a0credit hours, including at least 46\u00a0credits in Physics as well as additional credits in mathematics and other sciences. Physics majors are required to have a GPA of at least 2.0 in Physics at graduation.

In order to provide some focus for the student, each student who declares physics as a major must work with an advisor in the physics department to plan a course of study which may be either a standard physics emphasis or a major with an interdisciplinary emphasis. With the aid of his or her advisor, the student must prepare, for departmental approval, a written description and rationale for the course of study. This description must be submitted by the end of the fourth week of the junior year (typically fall semester). It must include a plan of courses to be taken and how those courses satisfy the student's goals.<\/p><p xmlns:h=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xhtml\">The <strong>standard physics<\/strong> emphasis is for those students interested in pursuing a more traditional course of study.

Technological breakthroughs with lasers, liquid crystal displays, and magnetic resonance imaging have had impact in communications, information technology, and medicine. These have revolutionized our lives in a manner that would not have been possible without physics. From the space shuttle to studies of global warming, physicists work at the forefront of science and technology.<\/p>\n<p>It is the goal of the physics department to help students develop strong backgrounds in experimental, theoretical, and computational physics and to learn the scientific method of investigation. As problems become increasingly complex, it has become clear that successful approaches often combine knowledge from different areas. Because much of 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0century physics is interdisciplinary, we endeavor to teach students how to integrate what they learn in their physics courses with knowledge in other fields. We seek to foster within each student an enthusiasm for learning and critical reasoning which lasts a lifetime. We also help students appreciate physics as a human endeavor that is intellectually satisfying. We strive to make our students aware of the responsibilities facing scientists in our contemporary society and learn how to effectively communicate their ideas in both oral and in written form.<\/p>\n<p>Our graduates pursue a variety of careers or continue graduate studies in various disciplines.

Working independently and consistently are necessary but not sufficient conditions for the completion of a successful senior project.\u00a0 In addition, students should work to<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">understand the broader context and motivation of the project<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">evaluate and follow the literature, while developing the ability to focus on the relevant papers and sections of papers<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">integrate knowledge from prior coursework<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For two-semester senior projects, student efforts should be focused in the first semester on introductory material, preliminary results, and plans for future work, while the second semester should emphasize results and interpretation.\u00a0<\/span><strong><em>It should be noted that all responsibility for the senior project lies with the student<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0The advisor is an important part of the process, but the student should not expect to wait upon the advisor to issue directives. Instead, the advisor should be viewed as an expert resource from whom guidance about specific research issues may be obtained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Physics Department supports students who choose to conduct the research for their senior project under the mentorship of a faculty member outside the Physics Department. That faculty member will serve the role of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Reader<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0and will participate in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roundtable Discussions,<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oral Presentations,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and grading as the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Reader<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Grades will be determined using the same rubric as that used for all other Senior Projects in the Physics Department. Students conducting their senior project under the mentorship of a faculty member outside the Physics Department will register for the section of Senior Project (Phys 600, Phys 610, Phys 620) corresponding to the second reader who will be responsible for assigning the grade determined by the Physics Department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All students are expected to write a research proposal as part of the Junior Seminar requirement, as determined by the Junior Seminar instructor. The proposal written by those students planning on conducting their Senior Project research as part of the requirements of a double major, or under the mentorship of a faculty member outside the Physics Department, must include a detailed description of the physics involved in the research proposal. Such proposals will be reviewed by the entire department, and recommendations will be made if necessary.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, all students conducting their senior project for physics credit are required to attend <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior Seminar<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, typically scheduled for Friday afternoons. This includes students who are conducting their senior research under the guidance of a faculty member outside the Physics Department, as well students who are double majors and are fulfilling the senior project for both departments. Senior Seminar i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s a time for students to share their research with other students in the Physics Department. The Senior Seminar instructor guides the students through the preparation of\u00a0 materials for oral and written presentation and is responsible for 10% of each student\u2019s grade.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grades may be withheld until the student properly attends to his\/her laboratory space, including properly storing all samples, disposing of
