Advocates & Allies for Equity - Advocates and Allies Advisory Council

The Advocates & Allies Advisory Council (AAAC) is composed of faculty and staff who want to help further gender and minority equity at Ohio State.

The Advocates & Allies for Equity initiative draws on the experience, subject expertise, and counsel of the Advocates & Allies Advisory Council (AAAC). Members of the AAAC act as ambassadors for the program on and off campus, including by promoting “communities of practice” among allies interested in continuing their learning about gender equity. Council members serve for two continuous years and may be reappointed for one two-year term.
