The Ombuds Office is hosting a weekly virtual Open House on Wednesdays 2p-3p EST for the rest of the academic year.
This is a chance for you to “swing by” virtually and say hi, ask questions, and learn more about the Ombuds Office and its services to help you navigate through a conflict, issue or concern. Via remote video meetings, we can do conflict resolution, mediations, restorative circles and dialogues, and facilitations. The Ombuds Office is also a place for you to receive coaching, conflict analysis, and options for conflict resolution and management.
I am here to partner with you and get through these uncertain times. I am also here to listen to you, for you to process, and to leave with a plan of action for any issues you are facing. All members of the Gallaudet community are welcome: undergraduate students, graduate students, employees, including faculty and staff both at Gallaudet and Clerc Center, families of University students, alumni, and University community members.
You may join the virtual Open House at this link: https://gallaudet.zoom.us/j/368961616
Ombuds Office Virtual Open House Will Have Guests from EEO, Title IX, and HR
