Caroline Andrew is a professor emeritus, Director of the Centre on Governance and former Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa. A lifelong advocate of equality for women, she has made enormous contributions to the academic study of women's issues, serving as the first coordinator of the Women's Studies Program and developer of the first Women and Politics courses at U of O. Within her community, Dr. Andrew has served or is serving in a variety of important roles, including Chair of the Steering Committee for the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership, President of the Women in Cities International, co-founder of Youth Futures, Co-Chair of the 2011 Women's Worlds organizing committee and member of the Steering Committee for the City for All Women Initiative. She has worked with the City of Ottawa on increasing inclusion of immigrants, preventing crime, improving public transit and advancing gender equality. In 1999, Dr. Andrew worked with elected officials and community members to pass the Declaration on Women in Local Government. This led to the formation of a working group to evaluate women's access to municipal services in Ottawa-Carleton, recommendations from which were approved in 2002.
