PUWMAS

Physics Undergraduate Women and Gender Minorities at Stanford (PUWMAS) is Stanford’s first undergraduate group dedicated to forming an inclusive community of underrepresented minorities in physics.

We have two main missions:

  1. Promote diversity in physics by uniting and uplifting minority voices.
  2. Provide opportunities for personal, academic, and career development.

Congrats to PUWMAS for receiving an APS funded Women in Physics Group Grant!

Congrats to PUWMAS for winning a 2018 Student Activities and Leadership Campus Impact Award for Building Bridges!

Social Events

PUWMAS hosts a variety of social events throughout the year to bring together the physics community, such as Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream or Physics Phormal.
