Welcome to the Office of the Ombudsperson
Need to talk about a workplace issue? Not sure what to do? The Amherst College ombudsperson is on staff specifically to provide completely confidential workplace counseling to staff and faculty on many different issues and situations. The ombudsperson can help you with challenges such as:
- Conflict with a colleague or supervisor
- The need to have a “difficult conversation”
- Any situation that you are unsure how to handle
No concern or conflict is too little or big to help you with. You may bring any concerns that you feel need attention, and the ombudsperson will work with you to develop options for addressing them.
The Office Is Located in Valentine Hall
The ombudsperson’s office is located in 117 Valentine Hall, near the rear entrance of the building. Office Hours are:
- Tuesday and Wednesday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.;
other times by arrangement.
