We will provide a casual dinner with female graduate students & faculty, as well as a Q&A session with a panel of women from physics backgrounds and varied current careers. Please join us and meet and interact with other women in your field! * **Date**: Monday, October 21st, 2019 * **Time**: 6:15 pm - 9:15 pm * **Location**: John T.

Planned activities raise the visibility of women within the school and encourage interactions amongst female graduate students, faculty and/or research associates. It is hoped that the Women in Physics and Astronomy group will encourage a respectful climate for women in the school.
