Your contribution directly fuels student-led research – from the quantum scale to the furthest galaxies – and powers outreach programs that bring the wonders of physics and astronomy to the Inland Empire. By supporting us, you help break down financial barriers for aspiring physicists and invest in a brighter scientific future at UCR.
The funds provide a vital bridge for student-led initiatives and essential department activities that lack traditional funding, ensuring our department can enrich the undergraduate and graduate student environment through programs that would otherwise remain out of reach. These investments facilitate transformative experiences, such as guest lectures, student-led research seminars, and professional development. They will also enable the department to sustain and develop high-impact community outreach activities, such as the UCR Summer Physics Teacher Academy (https://spta.ucr.edu/).
