Physicists for Inclusion in STEM: Continue Supporting the Basic Needs Pantry!
Physicists for Inclusion in STEM (PhIS) is an inclusivity-focused club on campus dedicated to creating accessible pathways into the field of physics. We aim to foster a welcoming and supportive community for anyone interested in physics, or simply seeking a space to decompress and connect with others.
Last year, we raised funds to establish a Basic Needs Pantry within the department. It was officially opened in winter quarter of 2026 and has been providing personal hygiene products, socks and shirts, and menstrual products. The most popular function of the Pantry are the Study Snacks provided for free to all visitors of the Physics Study!
Our fundraising mission this year is to be able to continue providing this resource to our department. By providing essentials like snacks, hygiene products, school supplies, and more, we can keep fostering a space where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Any leftover funds will be directed into the PhIS budget to support future community-building events, like pizza to go along with movie nights, origami paper for relaxing “crafternoons,” and other small joys that make our space a little brighter and more welcoming, and if necessary, allocating funding for CU*IP in the 26-27 school year.
