Pomona College Names Next Ombuds

Gecole Harley has been selected the next Ombudsperson for the small, liberal arts college in Claremont, California. Harley is an experienced Ombuds and will reestablish an office that has been closed since Pomona's first Ombuds, Conchita Serri, retired in January 2021. In the part-time position, Harley will serve faculty, staff, and students following IOA standards, and report to the College President.

Harley has been an Ombuds for the University of California Irvine and Kaiser Permanente. In addition, she has nearly two decades of legal and administrative experience. Harley graduated from Swarthmore College and earned a JD at the University of Pennsylvania and an MSW at the University of South Carolina. (LinkedIn.)
