APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (CU*iP), pronounced as "q-ip" or "q-wip," are three-day regional events tailored for undergraduate physics majors. All undergraduate students who want to see broader participation in physics and connect with others who share this vision are encouraged to attend. These conferences offer the opportunity to connect with mentors, explore educational and career paths, and network with fellow physics students to share knowledge and experiences.
