UNCG Affiliate of the NC ACE Women's Network

Advancing Women in Higher Education

Connect with us at UNC Greensboro

The ACE Women’s Network is a national system of networks within each state, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia with the goal of advancing and supporting women in higher education. Each state network 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.

The state networks are linked to one another through their connection with the American Council on Education (ACE) and the ACE Women’s Network Executive Council, a group of senior women executives from across the country who serve as both mentors to the state chairs and as advisers to ACE on the overall functioning of the ACE Women’s Network. State chairs also benefit from the mentorship and advice from college and university presidents and chancellors who have agreed to serve as presidential sponsors.

Our Mission

The ACE Women’s Network facilitates the networking of women interested in pursuing leadership opportunities in higher education. A four-part structure—Network Executive Council, independent, state-based networks with state chairs, presidential sponsors, and institutional representatives—facilitates these connections, allows for sharing of best practices, particularly at the State Chairs Annual Conference, and enables local leadership training by the state networks.

Leadership Mentoring Initiative

The Women’s Network Leadership Mentoring initiative will pair experienced senior leaders with those who are new to their leadership positions or who aspire to higher levels of leadership. Mentors should have at least 4 years of experience in a leadership position in higher education. The mentee should be the primary driver of the mentoring relationship as an emerging leader on campus. We will not prescribe a specific structure to the relationship, but given the busy schedules of women leaders we suggest that mentees and mentors schedule regular meetings, calls, or coffee/lunch times, with at least one discussion per month. Mentees might provide topics, questions, and goals for each meeting to make best use of these. Mentoring relationships should be flexible and adapt to the needs of the mentee, and the length of these relationships will vary. Although mentors act as advisors, we expect that they too will benefit from the relationship.

Interested mentors and mentees should complete this google form. We’ll contact you when a pairing is available or if we have questions to facilitate finding a match.

Additional Campus Resources

The Center for Women’s Health and Wellness

Through evidence-based research, education, and community engagement, our mission is to promote physical and mental health and well-being for girls and women in a fair manner. We will engage interdisciplinary research teams to understand the bio-psycho-social facilitators and barriers to mental and physical well-being; how they develop, intersect and change with physical activity behavior across the lifespan; and develop evidence-based strategies to improve the lives of girls and women.

The Student Health Center

Student Health Services provides primary health care services for UNC Greensboro students, as well as convenient care for UNCG Faculty and Staff. As a health organization operating within an academic institution, we are committed to the support of the educational, research and service missions of the University.

Services include preventive care and health maintenance services, such as annual physical exam with lab evaluation, consultation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of acute illness or injury, such as the common cold, influenza, skin conditions, abdominal pain, headaches, asthma, pneumonia, sexually transmitted infections, and back pain.
