Ombuds for Graduate Students at Virginia Tech

On April 25, 2007, just days after tragedy struck the campus, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University announced the creation of the Graduate Student Ombudsperson's office and the appointment of Ennis McCrery. McCrery earned her MFA candidate in poetry from Virginia Tech and has served as the Graduate Representative to the Board of Visitors, the governing authority for the University. This week, the website for her office went on line. (VT Grad School Announcement; VT English Dept Newsletter; VT Grad Student Ombuds Website.)
