The organization was formed under the name Undergraduate Women in Physics (UWIP) at Princeton in the Spring of 2018. Our goal is to offer mentorship, academic enrichment, and a welcoming community to students majoring in physics or related fields. We invite all students, regardless of gender identity/expression, race, socioeconomic background, and/or sexual orientation, to become members. As a joint collaboration between students in physics and the astrophysical sciences, we aim to provide guidance in order to aid students in their strides to achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals.

As of Fall 2021, we have made changes to our group’s structure with the goal of embracing an intersectional approach to activism that more accountably and expansively serves underrepresented minorities within the physics community. As part of this initiative, we have changed our name to TiCuP — Towards an Inclusive Community of Undergraduate Physicists.

On our website you can find more information on what we do, including upcoming events, such us the study breaks, Q&A panels, and the annual Junior Paper Symposium. 

Princeton students can join TiCuP here to gain access to our TeamDrive. In here you can find a directory that has all of the member’s names, majors, class years, and summer plans/previous summer experiences; folder for study resources; our board meeting notes; course selection advice; and more. 

Feel free to email us (ticup@princeton.edu) if you have any questions!
