Want to see how your institution compares nationally in terms of producing physics degrees and encouraging diversity among these degrees? The latest numbers from national databases are now available at the How Does Your Institution Compare? page. Updated tables showing top educators by degrees can be found at the Top Educators page. Thanks again to Sam Montgomery from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology for his help in assembling the data.
APS Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiPs) are three-day regional conferences at multiple sites across the U.S. and Canada, and are designed to increase the recruitment and retention of undergraduate women in physics. If you are interested in applying to be a host site for our 2019 conferences, please visit go.aps.org/cuwiphost and submit an application by November 1. Email women@aps.org for more information.
The APS Division of Nuclear Physics will host a Professional Skills Development Workshop on October 24, 1:00 pm - 8:00 pm at the Marriott City Center in Pittsburgh.

The APS Bridge Program (APS-BP) would like to announce a new guide for graduate student induction. The APS-BP Student Induction Manual documents effective practices for inducting new students into graduate programs, as identified and described by APS Bridge Sites. It also includes specific strategies for developing a solid foundation for students before and well after their arrival on campus. To download the manual, go to the Bridge Program Graduate Student Induction Manual page. Special thanks to Dr. Geraldine Cochran of Rutgers University, the primary editor of this manual.
