Dear MSPQC Students:
I am happy to share a 2024 conference opportunity! The 2024 National Society of Black Physicists and National Society of Hispanic Physicists (NSBP/NSHP) Joint Conferencehttps://web.cvent.com/event/e7731460-01b0-4982-b4bd-d2caf6c76a76/websitePage:26d748e4-830c-41bf-878d-73cf23c5c23e is on November 13-17, 2024 in Houston, Texas,. The UW Department of Physics encourages and supports graduate students interested in attending. The department can cover the cost of conference registration for a number of attendees (Note: student conference registration fees include travel and hotel accommodations). The regular registration deadline is July 31 and we can support more people if students register in advance of that deadline.
If this opportunity interests you, please respond to this email to let me know by Monday, July 8. I will take this as interest and not commitment-I will follow up with anyone who expresses interest in a second email in the month of July.

The NSBP Conference is the largest academic meeting of minority physicists in the United States. The goal of the conferenced is to provide mentorship opportunities, increase participant access to recruiters, offer networking opportunities and inform the broader physics community on best practices that will be gleaned during and after the meeting. The conference allows students to have close interactions with professional physicists and gain exposure to high-quality scientific researchers and presentations. In addition to being the meeting that promotes the persistence of underrepresented physics students in the academic workforce pipeline, the conference hosts many high-level research talks, provides opportunities for peer-to-peer interactions; and allows students the opportunity for exposure to the scientific community. The 2024 NSBP Conference will consist of four days of educational sessions, exhibitions, interactive networking opportunities, a hybrid/virtual component, as well as student career fair and poster sessions on cutting edge issues related to current trends in physics, and science.
I hope to hear from you about this opportunity!
Kind Regards,
Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed. Graduate Program Manager Master of Science in Physics-Quantum Computing Programhttps://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-prospective-students/ Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Madison
