Hi all,

We have a busy and exciting start to June! Next week is packed with events - there is a volunteer training session on Monday afternoon, a meet-up for disabled scientists on Wednesday, and a women in STEM BBQ for graduate students and postdocs on Thursday. Wow! Event details are below:

• Room Volunteer Training: "If putting up posters around campus or hanging out in the FemPhys room sound like your cup of tea, come to this training to find out more! This short and sweet training will prepare you to be an effective room and/or poster volunteer and give you an opportunity to sign up for tasks. Many hands make light labor - all willing volunteers are welcome!"
• Monday, June 12
• 4-4:30pm
• Phys 104 (FemPhys Room!)

• Disabled Scientist Meet-Up: "We know we exist. Let's get to know each other, too. Everyone is welcome. This space is wheelchair accessible and aims to be low-scent. Single stall and large stall bathrooms are available near the room. The event structure will include casually facilitated discussion and social interaction. The facilitators include autistic and anxious trans and nonbinary individuals. This event is co-sponsored with UWaterloo's Disability Advocacy and Community Alliance (DACA)"
• Wednesday, June 14
• 3:30-4:30 pm
• QNC 1507

• Women in STEM Grad BBQ: "Come enjoy a barbeque and meet fellow grad students and post docs in STEM fields! There will be lightly structured conversation and games. Bring your friends, some snacks, and any picnic games to share! Free burgers and veggie burgers will be provided!"
• Thursday, June 15
• 4-8 pm
• Waterloo Park

We also are looking for volunteers - if you love FemPhys, and want to be casually involved, read below for more details!

Volunteering Details:
Interested in helping out FemPhys, but don't have much time to spare? There are still ways to get involved while keeping the time commitment low-key! Currently, we would love some help putting up posters for our events - this would involve walking around campus, taping up posters, and can be loads of fun when done with friends. We are also actively looking for room volunteers - friendly folks to hang out in the FemPhys room and help us create a safe and welcoming space for the UW community. Both of these roles would be a few hours (or less) per week. If you would like to volunteer but cannot make it to the training, email femphys@gmail.com.
