The department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGS) is composed of administrators, a Program Advisory Committee (PAC) and Teaching Faculty.

WGS Administrators oversee planning, programming, and day-to-day operations.

The WGS Program Advisory Committee (PAC) is made up of faculty and staff who consult on curricular matters, choose scholarship and award winners, and advise on vision and programming.
