When Douglas College Wouldn't Hire an Ombuds, the Student Union Did

In 2012, the public college in British Columbia turned down the the Douglas Students Union's request for an independent Ombuds. So the students hired their own; Tracy Ho has served in the position since then. Ho also serves as the College Relations and Membership Outreach Coordinator at the DSU, a position she works to balance appropriately. “I think something I have to be very conscious of is what hat I have on,” she said. 

Previously, Ho has held administrative positions with a student union, a climate policy research institute, and a community organization for multiracial women and girls. She attended Vancouver Community College and graduated from the University of Victoria. (DSU Ombuds; LinkedIn.)
