Welcome to the Office of the Ombud!
The Office of the Ombud serves the UW community by providing high quality, client-focused services for preventing, managing, navigating and resolving conflict at the UW. We act as thought-partners with clients to assist them in navigating any issue to do with their lives at the UW. Through active participation in the problem-solving process, clients develop the ability to prevent, manage, and resolve future conflicts.
Client appointments
We offer a wide range of client appointments from 1:1 sessions to group mediations and facilitated conversations. To learn more about appointment offerings visit the Schedule an appointment page of our website.
Ombud outreach
In addition to building client relationships the Office of the Ombud is committed to building and growing relationships across campus. We meet quarterly with other UW units across all campuses with the goal of improving the fairness and effectiveness of the University’s systems and operations.
