According to conference planners, "The Summer Meeting provides an opportunity for academic ombuds to become better acquainted, to share concerns unique to our professional environments, and to support and learn from each other’s experiences in a relatively-intimate, informal setting." Interested presenters must submit a short, one or two paragraph description of their topic, including the format and the length (20 minutes to 1.5 hours). The Planning Committee strongly prefers interactive discussions and audience participation. Suggested topics include:
- Challenges facing Academic Ombuds;
- Ombuds as change agents;
- Ombuds as leaders;
- Diversity and inclusion;
- The Clery Act;
- Ombudsing in our post-election climate;
- Ombudsing in a digital age; and
- Other issues relevant to Academic Ombuds.
