If you're interested in attending either of these conferences, please let me know! smk

p.s. While it'd be ideal to hit the early bird deadline this week, it's summer and I know that means that some people are away from email. If you are reading this and it is after June 30, but you're interested in attending SACNAS and/or NSBP, please let me know and we'll see what we can do.

From: Sharon Kahn Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2023 1:37 PM To: students@lists.physics.wisc.edu; mspqc@lists.physics.wisc.edu; incoming-phds@lists.physics.wisc.edu Cc: KATERINA MOLONI moloni@wisc.edu; KEVIN BLACK kblack@hep.wisc.edu; MARK A ERIKSSON maeriksson@wisc.edu; ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE elizabeth.baldridge@wisc.edu; AIMEE N LEFKOW lefkow@hep.wisc.edu Subject: Fall conference opportunities

I want to call your attention to 2 fall conference opportunities:

1 - Society for the Advancement of Chicano/Hispanic and Native American Scientists (SACNAS) National Diversity in STEM Conference (NDiSTEM) NDiSTEM is the largest multidisciplinary and multicultural STEM diversity event in the country, a true celebration of science, culture, and community that serves, equips, and energizes participants for their academic and professional paths in STEM. This conference, scheduled for Oct 26-28 in Portland, OR, is a great opportunity to present research (poster or oral presentation) and to network with other attendees. Learn more about SACNAS herehttps://s6.goeshow.com/sachn/ndsc/2023/index.cfm 2 - National Society of Black Physicists The NSBP Conference is the largest academic meeting of minority physicists in the United States. The goal of the conference 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 2023 NSBP Conference will consist of three 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. This conference, scheduled for Nov 9-12 in Knoxville, TN, is available for both in-person and virtual attendance. Learn more about NSBP herehttps://nsbp.org/page/preregistration.

For both meeting, the Physics Dept is happy to encourage and support graduate students who are interested in attending and can provide travel support for a small number of attendees. For both conferences, there's an early bird registration deadline of June 30 - we can support more people if we register in advance of that deadline. If either/both of these opportunities interest you, please respond to let me know by Tuesday, June 27. Note that I will take this truly as interest and not commitment - I'll follow up with anyone who expresses interest. Hope to hear from you! smk
