The Eberly College of Science Guide program (formerly known as Eberly Ombuds) was created to provide a safe and informal opportunity for members of our college to discuss problems and issues outside of formal channels. The College guides work to facilitate communication among individuals and help connect people to resources for further assistance. Please note that you can reach out to any College guide, no matter what department or unit they represent. They are here to assist individuals across the college.

Our Mission

College Guide program members

The College guides assist faculty, staff, and graduate students in conflict resolution and solutions-oriented support. Although each department has at least two guides, individuals can choose to meet with any guide across the College.
