Please join us in congratulating Dr. Lori Moore, who recently accepted the role of Ombuds for Undergraduate Studies. She will split her time between ALEC and in this new role, where she will be able to apply her unique qualifications to support all undergraduates at TAMU.

It was humbling to be named Outstanding Executive Staff Member for 2022-23. Although the work of serving the University of Mississippi community as Ombuds is reward enough, this recognition was both unexpected and gratifying. Thank you.

Out on a limb: what if SCOTUS had an ombuds small group of professional (PhD) US historians (legal, political, social, you name it, covering all eras) with plenty of archival research chops? All historical claims to be fact-checked + vetted before any decision.

In the Harvard Grant Study, the world’s longest running and most comprehensive psychological study, the five most mature, healthy defense mechanisms associated with higher life satisfaction were:
1. Altruism: focusing on others’ wellbeing
2. Humor: making light of difficult or stressful events or experiences
3. Sublimation: turning anger or frustration into productive energy
4. Anticipation: maintaining a realistic view of the future and its difficulties
5. Suppression: consciously suppressing unproductive and distressing thoughts
