AAWCC Chapter

The American Association of Women in Community Colleges (AAWCC) was organized in 1973 and is a council member of the American Association of Community Colleges. The organization offers opportunities for women in two-year institutions by providing a forum that addresses women’s issues and acknowledges women’s achievements.

In 2015, Onondaga Community College established a local chapter of AAWCC. The purposes of the organization are:

  • Encourage personal and professional development for women in community, junior, and technical colleges.
  • Support women in leadership roles.
  • Develop communications among women in community, junior, and technical colleges.
  • Promote and offer workshops for women in community, junior, and technical colleges.
  • Share information on courses, programs, and services of interest to the membership.

Membership Requirements

Membership at both local and national levels is open to any OCC employee, retiree, alumna/alumnus, or student employed at or enrolled in OCC, and anyone who supports the purpose of OCC. Join or Renew your AAWCC Membership Today
