The Ombuds Office is proud to announce that it will celebrate Ombuds Day, October 12, 2023, with an exciting and educational workshop that is open to all UNLV students and employees.

Ombuds Day is an annual day of recognition for the ombuds profession organized by the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution. This year, the theme of Ombuds Day is Ombuds: Diverse in Role, United in Service.  

UNLV's Ombuds, David G. Schwartz, will host an interactive workshop on conflict styles. Prior to the 75-minute session, registrants will complete an online survey instrument that will provide insight into their own conflict style.  With this knowledge in hand, participants will explore, through interactive group discussion and roleplay activities, how different conflict styles can exacerbate disagreements and complicate productive resolutions. 

For more information about Ombuds Day, please visit the ABA's Section of Dispute Resolution or OmbudsDay.com.

Ombuds Day takes place during a week of events and activities designed to raise awareness of the Ombuds Office at UNLV.
