David Descutner, Ally       
Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education,
Dean -University College, Professor - Communication Studies

INVOLVEMENTS AT OU: 
I’ve recruited, advised, mentored, and directed the work of undergraduate and graduate students who belong to under-represented groups.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE OUT or TO BE AN ALLY? 
If Ohio University is to be a truly inclusive campus community, we all must join forces to support one another, to celebrate our lives and our successes as citizens of the campus community, and to commit to learning from our individual differences.

WHY ARE YOU “PROUD”?  WHAT ARE YOU MOST “PROUD” OF? 
I am proud of the very small part I’ve played in helping Ohio University, over the last 27 years, become a more diverse campus community where difference in all of its forms is embraced.
