Future Members: Join the Council

Are you interested in the advancement of all women at Ohio State? Would you like to make an impact on the working environment for staff and faculty women? Serving on the President and Provost’s Council on Women (PPCW) is an exciting opportunity to work with dynamic people from across the university, learn about issues Ohio State women face, and work to change the culture at the university.

Members serve a three-year term. Meetings occur monthly along with task force assignments that include work outside of the regularly scheduled monthly meetings. The time commitment is about four hours per month.

Final appointments to PPCW are confirmed by the Office of the President. Faculty and staff of any gender can be members of PPCW. Applicants must have been employed at Ohio State for a minimum of two years to be eligible.
