Curious how an ombuds can help your organization? this article does a great job breaking it down: https://t.co/s1FiGbRyYt

It feels disingenuous to wish you a *Happy* Conflict Resolution Day today. Instead, I hope you have a productive day managing & resolving any arguments, conflicts, disputes & disagreements that are making your life difficult.

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

Grateful to all my colleagues on this #ombudsday 2022. Having the greater community of ombuds makes this work so much easier.

I'm so excited for @waterbarnes' Virginia Tech visit this week!!! If you're on campus: consider attending her seminar, "Rethinking the Scientific Enterprise to Make it More Welcoming & Just", on Fri at 2:30p in the Fralin Auditorium.

(Thanks @jp_gannon & @vt_cnre for hosting!)

@VTRecSports @virginia_tech Much love to the #hokie community! They came through again. My ring was found and returned. Thanks for your help.

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

Desperate call for help. I lost a treasure today at the @virginia_tech #McComas gym. In the 12 years I've worn my wedding band, I can count the # of times I took it off. I did so today during a lunchtime workout. Please DM if you #found a white gold ring w/botanic engraving.

@CGMundell Thank you, I was impressed with the thoughtful engagement throughout the conversation. Kudos to you and your community for taking this conversation to the next level.

My colleague @OmbudsR and I had the opportunity to talk with our local radio station about the work we do as Ombuds for Virginia Tech. Thanks to @WUVTFM for the opportunity. If you ever wondered what the work of an ombuds entails, have a listen: https://t.co/yXT6fbcCXJ

Ombuds and aspiring ombuds, I saw this opportunity on Tom's @Ombudsblog and want to encourage you to apply. Southwest Virginia is a wonderful place to live and work and this is a strong institution of Higher Ed in the region. https://t.co/Lw9aW25eLj

Happy Ombuds day to all my friends and colleagues providing a supportive resource to help their constituents reframe their perspective of conflict and constructively work through the conflict situations they are experiencing.

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

Have you wondered how one becomes an ombuds? The @IntlOmbudsAssoc has a new series to help show the various pathways one may take called the Ombuds Journey. The latest post by Kristine Paranica, Ombuds at the University of North Dakota, is a great read: https://t.co/PY1taD9nm9

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

Academic bullying is a complex issue with no clear pathway for constructive engagement. Normalizing the conversations around this behavior is a great place to start. I am excited about this opportunity to partner with @academicimpress to begin this effort: https://t.co/05DrvFgcx4

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

So how does one become an ombuds? To all my ombuds colleagues out there, we would love to hear your journey. The @IntlOmbudsAssoc is developing a series of blog posts to highlight the unique paths one may take to find success in this role. Learn more here: https://t.co/8TWBTCFotH

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

@VT_ORDI Thanks Shernita! It was a pleasure to have this conversation. While there is a greater recognition of the psychological impact of these behaviors, establishing constructive means to respond to these experiences requires more work to normalize the difficult conversations required.

[Bryan Hanson @BryanjHanson]

This is a great opportunity to learn from some of the brightest and most forward thinking minds in dispute resolution.

I appreciated the latest IOA Independent Voice blog post by Ryan Smith. He encourages us to #rethinkconflict and to consider the use of restorative practices in our work as ombuds. https://t.co/4qXWn1uced
