The Undergraduate Faculty Advising Committee is committed to collaborating with Student Affairs to provide essential resources and organize quarterly panel discussions on relevant topics.
Focused on supporting all students, particularly those from underrepresented groups, we promote participation in research and skill-building opportunities while monitoring their impact on success. We address issues of diversity, equity, and student well-being, gathering feedback to enhance student life.

Seeking Faculty Advising
Students are welcome to reach out to faculty advisors with any questions or to request a 1-on-1 meeting. Please be as specific as possible in your email, so we can best figure out how to assist you
- For general inquiries about research directions among faculty, we would suggest the Physics 191 course and our advising events scheduled throughout the year. Note that our faculty advisors do not necessarily have open lab positions. See the Joining a Physics Faculty Lab or Group spreadsheet for more information.
- For advising on the specifics of major requirements, completing your degree, and administrative matters, we would direct you to Staff Advising.
- For advice on courses applicable to particular subfields, see the Course Recommendations by Faculty spreadsheet.
