Hello OACAC Members!

My name is Courtney Johnson-Benson and I am your 2017-2018 IAS Chair!

Our awesome committee is looking for additional members for this upcoming year.

A description of out committee:

The Inclusion, Access and Success Committee shall stay informed of any important statewide diversity issues related to higher education and relay that information to the OACAC membership. The Inclusion, Access and Success committee will also ensure that OACAC integrates diversity within the membership, committees and programming.

The responsibilities of the committee include:

• Lead discussions on issues of access and equity in the college admissions process, and serve as a resource to OACAC members.

• Work to ensure that all OACAC conferences have topics that explore diversity and multicultural issues.

• Communicate issues and concerns as they relate to diversity and multiculturalism to OACAC members by using technology and OACAC resources.

• Administration and selection of the Charles L. Warren Memorial Heritage Scholarship and plan and execute Camp College Program

• Work to increase membership and participation in OACAC from counselors in urban areas.

In short…

We work as a committee to award a scholarship to four deserving students every year during OACAC Annual Conference. We read applications and meet as a committee to determine the winners each year.

We also work as a committee to act as a resource throughout the state of Ohio on issues that help or hinder Inclusion, Access, and Success of both students and professionals.

We aim to continue to include all diverse persons in the secondary and higher education conversation.

We host a blog that acts as a resource and sounding board within the organization.

We would love to have you on the committee.
