Ombuds training is open to faculty and staff: Sign up today

Faculty and staff are invited to join an on-campus training session facilitated by Donna Louden, who brings extensive experience as a trainer and as a member of the International Ombuds Association, from 12:30 to 3 p.m. April 3. This workshop provides practical, everyday skills that can improve your work environment and strengthen campus connections.

What you’ll gain:

  • Greater confidence in approaching and managing tough conversations
  • Techniques for active listening and building trust
  • Insight into how an Ombuds-style perspective promotes a healthier, more equitable workplace
  • A chance to discover whether future Ombuds involvement might be right for you

If you’re interested in learning about the Ombuds role — or simply want to enhance your everyday communication and problem-solving — this introductory session is the perfect place to start.
