Please join us in celebrating the 40th anniversary of the founding of the women in physics group at Cornell with alumnae, faculty, staff, and current students. This all-year reunion will include both undergraduate and graduate alumnae in physics and related fields, dating back to the founding of the group. We are organizing networking events, panel discussions, poster sessions, and tours of the new buildings. We are also delighted to announce that Prof. Laura Greene, chief scientist of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and president-elect of the American Physical Society, will be our keynote speaker.
There is no registration fee, and all meals will be provided for. Of course, donations to Cornell's Women in Physics group are always welcome.
Even if you cannot attend, we would still very much like to hear from you. We are doing our best to gather updated contact and biographical information from all of our alumnae, which can be shared during and after the reunion. We look forward to hearing about the experiences, challenges, and accomplishments of all the talented women who have left their mark here at Cornell. If you follow the link to RSVP below, you will have the option to share with us what you have done since leaving Cornell.
We look forward to hearing from you!
