Seeks to address the need for increasing diversity and inclusion, especially gender equity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) departments by working towards equity in the numbers of male and female associate professors and full professors across STEM departments at UNCG.
UNCG, the historical North Carolina Women’s College, is an affiliate of the newly re-established North Carolina American Council on Education (ACE) Women’s Network. This national system of networks within each state, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia has the goal of advancing and supporting women in higher education. Each state is led by a state chair who works with institutional representatives and at least one presidential sponsor to develop programs that identify, develop, encourage, advance, link, and support (IDEALS) women in higher education careers within that state.
In line with UNC Greensboro’s commitment to the values of inclusion, our definition of “women” is an intentionally intersectional one, highlighting and including the vast spectrum of experiences that we believe define womanhood. This includes women of transgender and gender diverse experiences and identities.
Our goals are to:
- Identify and support women in administrative leadership positions at UNCG.
- Build a UNCG network whereby women are identified as potential leaders and mentored in their aspirations.
- Make women at UNCG informed of opportunities they are eligible for at both the state and national levels.
- Establish links between the state network and UNCG programs focusing on women.
- Keep women at UNCG, the Chancellor, and the Provost informed regarding the ACE Network.
- Assist with state programs to encourage women aspiring to administrative leadership roles

Committed to the intersection between mental health and social justice by creating a safe, affirming, inclusive and welcoming environment for all students and the larger campus community.

A way to include the greatest possible number of alumni with UNCG on an annual basis by creating a range of programs and services so appealing that alumni will seek to remain engaged with the University and each other. During Women’s History Month (March), acknowledgement of notable Women’s College alumni allows for a wonderful resource for those looking to take a step back in time at UNCG. Some of these women helped shape the legacy of UNCG and inspired future generations of women to find their way here.

In order to meet the unique and diverse needs of the students and members, Kaplan has evolved into a place where you can reflect deeper, play harder, grow stronger, explore farther, accomplish more, and enjoy life.
