Structure of the Women Faculty Forum
Membership
The Women Faculty Forum at Yale (WFF) counts among its ranks 900 faculty, administrators, students, and alumnae from across all schools of the University. The WFF is supported by the offices of the President and Provost.
If you would like to become a member of the Women Faculty Forum, please email wff@yale.edu or call 432-8847. Members are added to the WFF email list and receive weekly campus events emails as well as advance notice of WFF events and programs.
Council
The WFF Council guides the agenda of the organization. The Council meets once per month to discuss projects and upcoming events. Ten to twelve members of this Council sit on the Steering Committee, leading the Council and representing the group in meetings with University administrators. The Council at Large designation for Council members who wish to remain a part of the WFF Council but do not have the time, in a given academic year, to be fully active Council members. Student liaisons from Yale College, the Graduate School, and the professional schools join the Council for meetings.
Staff
The WFF office includes two Gender Equity and Policy Post-Graduate Associates and a half-time Administrative Assistant, all of whom work in conjunction with the WFF Council, Steering Committee and Co-Chairs. The Associates design and implement innovative programs and projects and oversee the research components of WFF initatives. The Administrative Assistant offers logistical support for both program and research activities.
Working Groups
WFF Working Groups function as catalyst think tanks, bringing together concerned faculty, staff, and students to generate activist programs and recommendations for the WFF and other stakeholders in the University.
