Professor Peggie R. Smith is available by appointment to meet with any Danforth Campus faculty colleagues who seek a safe place to discuss concerns related to interactions with others at the university, its policies or its procedures. The Ombuds Office strives to help visitors clarify their concerns, navigate difficult conversations, and identify and consider options, including possible referrals to other offices or resources.
