WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES Women and Minorities in the Physical Sciences (WaMPS) is a graduate student organization at Michigan State University that strives to promote diversity in the physical sciences by encouraging women and minorities to pursue the field, as well as working to create an inviting and supportive community for those who are already part of the physical sciences. WaMPS aims to include students from all backgrounds, so our group is comprised of a variety of students in the physics department (and some nuclear chemists). Mentoring program WaMPS holds a variety of events each semester. We meet monthly to discuss articles or hold workshops about different topics relevant to women and minorities in the field. WaMPS has also taken field trips to museums or to see relevant movies, such as Hidden Figures, and ‘The Theory of Everything’. We host games nights and barbecues. WaMPS strives to create a program which fosters collaboration and professional growth in a laid back, relaxed atmosphere. We offer a variety of mentoring events and programs for students in different stages of their education and professional development. Outreach WaMPS also has a strong outreach program at MSU and within the greater Lansing area. The Outreach Program has put together a series of interactive demonstrations to teach about various topics, including electricity and magnetism and states of matter. These are presented at various outreach events (Impression 5 Science Center, MSU Girl Scout Day STEM Day, and many more) to share our excitement about science with younger generations. Science and Learning at Michigan State (SL@MS) This is a summer science experience for local middle school students. During the SL@MS program, students practice science skills in a personalized and student-driven environment through experimentation, competition, and demonstration. Throughout the camp, students also gain knowledge about waves and their applications in lasers, radios, sound, and more! Find us on Facebook or email us at wamps@msu.edu.

CAREERS Your success as a graduate student is important to us. Our graduates are in high demand, and they are the best testimony to the quality of our top-ranked graduate education program. As a nuclear or accelerator physicist, engineer, or nuclear chemist educated at NSCL, you are well positioned to pursue a variety of career paths. You are expertly trained to do research at a university, at a national laboratory or in an industrial setting. You are well-qualified to teach at a small college or a large university. You can pursue science policy or specialize in business. You can work for the U.S. Patent Office, on Wall Street, or at the Mayo Clinic. If you are not sure which direction to take, we have a large network of NSCL alumni who will gladly speak with you about their professions. • NSCL graduates now occupy many important positions at universities, national laboratories, and the private sector, making valuable contributions to society in many different areas. • Recent NSCL graduates now work on cancer therapy, airport anti-terrorist safety, environmental protection, weapons safeguards, national security, nuclear fusion, and radiation safety of space travel. Others have chosen careers where they apply their problem solving and goal-oriented teamwork skills in diverse areas of the economy, including car manufacturing, electronics, computing and finance. Join the nearly 26% of the country’s nuclear science graduate students who are educated in our laboratory Summer school students gather at the poster session. 15
