The Advocates & Allies Advisory Council (AAAC) is composed of women faculty and staff who want to help further gender and minority equity at Ohio State.
The AAAC’s role is to select and advise Advocates (senior male faculty), provide them feedback, and help them understand and remain in touch with the experience of women and underrepresented minorities in our academic climate. The AAAC and advocate coordinators, Tom Gregoire, dean of the College of Social Work, and Vish Subramaniam, professor and chair in the College of Engineering, will select the Advocates from a list of those nominated, review the Advocates’ plans, and advise them on their activities.
The term of appointment to the AAAC is for 3 years, except for the following permanent members: Director of The Women’s Place Jennifer Beard; Program PI Professor Emerita Hazel Morrow-Jones; and the AAAC Co-chairs Associate Vice President Mary Juhas and Professor Emerita Joan Herbers
