Our Mission
The UMD Physics Undergraduate Committee was founded in 2019 and comprises of students representatives from each year in the physics major. The Physics Undergraduate Committee (PUC) strives to be a community-oriented organization for undergraduate students studying physics at the University of Maryland. We provide both academic and mental health resources in order to cultivate a well-roundedness in the undergraduate department. Supporting our peers is important to us, and ultimately we want every physics major to feel welcomed.

Undergraduate Research Colloquium
PUC hosts weekly undergraduate colloquia every Tuesday at 6:15 PM, in which undergraduate students are given the opportunity to present information regarding their scientific interests and research to their peers. Attending and speaking during colloquia is a great way to practice your scientific communication skills, so we encourage you to sign up with our interest form! https://forms.gle/pAqBdyrsfKqgvQ7eA
