Academic Women's Cancus

Through task forces and the initiative of individual members, the AWC has researched and testified in a variety of salary and equity surveys and cases at the University of Michigan. It has made presentations on a number of topics to the Board of Regents and is consulted regularly by the Affirmative Action Office and top university administrators. It also nominates women for awards and recognition and confers the Sarah Goddard Power Award each year.

A co-chair is selected each year. If possible, co-chair terms are staggered to provide continuity. A steering committee advises the group to provide further input and continuity. The Affirmative Action Office of the University provides support and services to facilitate the work of the AWC.
