EP3 Team
Meet the EP3 Team
The EP3 Project team is working to create the Effective Practices for Physics Programs Guide, to train physics program leaders and reviewers in how to use the Guide through workshops and online communities, to conduct research on the impact of the Guide, and to develop a plan for ongoing review and improvement of the Guide.
The EP3 Guide was developed by the APS Best Practices for Undergraduate Physics Programs (BPUPP) Task Force (2016-2022). Ongoing development and review of the Guide is now overseen by the EP3 Editorial Board. Membership on the Task Force and EP3 Board is listed below.
If you’d like to talk to us about the project, please contact one of our co-chairs, David Craig or Mike Jackson.
