Eastern Virginia Medical School Names First Ombuds

After a pandemic-interrupted search, Diane Holland has been appointed the first Assistant Director, Training and Ombudsperson for the public medical school in Norfolk, Virginia. Holland's work as an Ombuds will take a quarter of her time with the balance going to diversity-related training for about 2,300 students, staff, and faculty.

Holland brings nearly two decades of experience in counseling, litigation, and investigations to the position. Most recently she was a Civil Rights Investigator at Norfolk State University and a trainer and instructor for the Virginia Department of Social Services. Holland’s prior experience includes managerial roles in the public and private sectors, including the Richmond Public Schools’ Talent Office in Employee Relations. She holds master’s degrees in public administration and human resource management, and is a certified master life coach and qualified mental health professional. (EVMS Pulse.)
