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, 4:30-5:30pm 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!

Email: gabriel@unc.edu Hey guys! I’m Gabe, and I’m from Weaverville, NC. Outside of physics I enjoy cooking, playing D&D, and sometimes climbing. That’s not to say that I’m any good at those things but I like them. Most of what I do here at UNC is physics but I also frequent the philosophy club. If you have any questions I’m willing to field them, and if I don’t know the answer I can point you in the direction of someone who does. Opossum Instagram (if you care [>.<]): @hazels_possum_palace
