Cal Poly Humboldt is pleased to announce that Professor John M. Meyer, Department of Politics, will join University Ombudsperson Professor Suzanne Pasztor in serving the campus, effective August 2023.  Communication Professor Scott Paynton is ending his current term as Ombudsperson this summer, and we thank him for his extensive years of service in this important role.

The University Ombudspersons provide confidential, informal mediation and conflict resolution services, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the University community. They work with students, faculty, and staff with a primary focus on student concerns.

The Ombudspersons serve as a resource to promote a positive campus climate and environment by facilitating problem resolution through listening, providing information, making referrals to other campus resources, and identifying options and alternatives.

For more information about the University Ombudspersons, including their contact information and how they can help, please visit: humboldt.edu/ombuds.

We are grateful to Dr. Paynton, Dr. Pasztor and Dr. Meyer for this important service to the University. Their role in problem-solving and conflict resolution is a valuable contribution to our community.
