2019 Women in Physics and Astronomy Retreat

Hi everyone,

I hope your summer has been going well. I am writing to let you know that, as last year, the physics department is sponsoring an overnight retreat for women and gender minorities in physics and astronomy co-organized by a group of graduate students in both departments. It will take place at Camp Kiwanis (about half an hour away) starting late in the afternoon on August 20th and ending in the evening of the 21st. It's absolutely free and transportation, lodging (indoors, in cabins), and food will be provided. We will split our time between workshops, talks and discussions aimed at making our experience at the university better and fun outdoors activities and indoors arts and crafts projects. If you see yourself enjoying this event and helping us build a community through it, we would love to have you! Attendance from all age and experience groups is welcome. Please sign-up by August 13th here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdl190bYuolBH00-fW_lYgQNBRm2kvh6nk58OF-SIMBrfpOCA/viewform?usp=sf_link

And if Facebook is more your jam you can also let us know that you're coming here: https://www.facebook.com/events/348231946125516/

Finally, if you have friends who you think this email has not reached but who should be retreat-ing with us, please feel free to share!

Best, Karmela and the WIPA Retreat Team
