The Office of the University Ombudsperson would like to invite faculty and staff to a special webinar about the ombuds office and its history in honor of Ombuds Day!

Ombuds Day was established in 2018 by the American Bar Association to “improve public awareness of ombuds, to connect ombuds in their respective communities, and to encourage greater use of ombuds programs and services”. Michigan State University has a rich history in ombuds practice as the longest continuously operating ombuds office at any college or university in the United States.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• A brief history of ombuds practice internationally
• The history of MSU’s Office of the University Ombudsperson and how it functions
• When and how you might engage with the staff of the ombuds office

When: Thursday, October 12th, 2023, at 1:00pm

Religious Observance at MSU

All members of the MSU community, including educators and students, are eligible to observe their religious beliefs. Designing your course schedule to avoid conflicts with major days of religious observance will reduce the need to resolve individual conflicts and will better reflect and serve MSU's diverse and multicultural community.

The Office of the Provost website maintains a religious observance calendar and FAQ page (https://provost.msu.edu/academic-resources/religious-observance-calendar with dates through 2026) for educators and students. Educators are encouraged to consult this calendar before scheduling exams, tests, and major assignments.

The full policy on religious observance, including instructors' responsibilities to accommodate students' religious observance as well as students' responsibility to inform instructors about potential conflicts, can be found https://reg.msu.edu/roinfo/notices/religiouspolicy.aspx here.

CTLI received a note that the Library of Congress is sponsoring a challenge to help improve public knowledge of civics – that is, the rights and responsibilities of citizens - by asking video game developers to create fun, lightweight video games related to civics that incorporate Library of Congress resources. The Library will award cash prizes to the winners and the games will be hosted on the Library's site for use by the public. The deadline for entries is 11/27/23.
