This funding supported the Northeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics held January 14-16, 2011 in Cambridge, MA. This conference was one of four simultaneous conferences nationwide (the others held at North Carolina State University, Purdue University and the University of Southern California) whose goal is to help undergraduate women continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas. Both men and women attended and benefitted from research talks by faculty, panel discussions about graduate school and careers in physics and related areas, laboratory tours, student research talks and poster presentations, and networking among students and between students and faculty.
