The Canadian Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CCUWiP), to be held at McGill University, is a new Canadian conference aimed at undergraduate women in physics programs. It gives students in physics the unique opportunity to explore a variety of career paths both in industry and academia and the chance to develop a network with fellow students in physics. This conference allows undergraduates to interact with women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice and ideas.
