Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (GSWS) Program-affiliated faculty and the director encourage shared involvement and intellectual community with our students. As a declared GSWS major/minor or SGIS minor you will be assigned an advisor affiliated with the GSWS Program. GSWS and SGIS students can also reach out to the GSWS director and CAS staff for additional advising support. Drop-in advising sessions are also offered each semester prior to registration.
