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
