Inclusive Excellence Student Advisory Council

The Inclusive Excellence Student Advisory Council (IESAC) is a student advisory committee that advises on issues related to inclusive excellence to the Office of Inclusive Excellence. This council serves as a channel for student voices to be heard directly by the Vice President of Inclusive Excellence and other leaders within OIE to advocate for inclusive practices at American University.

IESACs advise university leadership on matters related to inclusive excellence.

Serve as a bridge between the student body and OIE, ensuring that student perspectives are considered in decision-making.

IESACs may advocate policies, practices, or campus climate changes to promote a more inclusive environment.

They may communicate information about inclusive excellence initiatives to the student body.
