You can approach her with your problems. If you so desire, she can keep your identity private. For affairs relating to academic performance, such as majoring requirements, GTF appointments, etc., approach the Graduate Affairs Committee. Like all other departmental committees, this one is also filled from within the faculty by rotation. Department Head Zary Segall is the CIS Department Head.
Women are a minority in computer science.
The department recognises this, and understands that being a minority presents additional challenges to students. A group has been organized called Women in Computer Science to enable women in the department to meet in a group and be a support to one another. A mailing list exists for this group, wics. All female faculty and staff are on this list, along with almost every female student. If you are not on this list, or are not sure if you are on this list, Lauradel Collins maintains this list.
