WGS is happy to welcome back professors Rebecca Herzig and Holly Ewing, who were off campus last year.

We’re also pleased to welcome Professor Stephen Engel, who joins the WGS faculty committee along with continuing committee members Myron Beasley, Leslie Hill, Sue Houchins, Emily Kane, Melinda Plastas and the chair, me (Erica Rand).

If you are a current or especially a potential major or minor — and we hope that you are — we are excited to let you know that we have switched the advising system so that any committee member, not just the chair, can be your adviser. And, of course, we all look forward to working with you in the new academic year.
