In recent years, members of the National Student Advisory Council (SAC) served as AAUW ambassadors, advised AAUW staff on the needs of college students, and led gender equality projects on their campuses. SAC members also helped plan AAUW and NASPA’s annual National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL).
