Northern Virginia Community College Creates Ombuds Office

Earlier this year, Tanneh Kamara was named the first Ombuds for the public community college, the third largest multi-campus community college in the U.S. and the largest educational institution in Virginia. Kamara serves a student body of 75,000 across six campuses and four centers. She moves into the role after serving as the Director of Student Success for the past five years.
