Cross-Appointed Faculty
Cross-appointed faculty are those with an interest in issues of women, gender, sexuality and related topics, who have officially joined the WGSS program through an individualized MOU between their department chair and the WGSS director. These program faculty are empowered to make decisions, particularly in votes on promotion and tenure, and usually serve on WGSS committees, teach WGSS classes and classes that carry the WGSS marker. Their appointment term is four years. If you are interested in becoming a cross-appointed faculty member, please e-mail the current director and program administrator, or wgs@uncg.edu.

Affiliate Faculty
Affiliate faculty are those with an interest in issues of women, gender, sexuality and related topics and sometimes teach classes that carry the WGSS marker. These affiliated faculty do not participate in decision-making, though they may choose to serve on committees, or be involved in the program in other ways. Faculty may serve as cross-appointed for a time, then step back to affiliate status to make time for other commitments, or vice versa. If you are interested in becoming an affiliate faculty member, please e-mail the current director and program administrator, or wgs@uncg.edu.
