Visibility in Physics
We are Visibility in Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, an organization that aims to provide resources, advice, and an encouraging social atmosphere for underrepresented minorities and allies in the field of physics. We welcome physics majors, minors, and enthusiasts to our club!
Our weekly meetings are Mondays, 5:30-6:30pm in Phillips 277. For more information, please email one of the presidents or uncvisibilityinphysics@gmail.com, or sign-up for the ‘uncwip’ listserv on the board outside of Phillips 245!
