August 24, Roel Notten (43) started as Ombudsperson Students. It is a new position shared with Utrecht University (UU).
As a student, do you have a problem, dilemma or conflict that arose during your studies? And has the help and mediation by, for example, your program or Education and Student Affairs not led to a satisfactory result? Then you can contact the Ombudsperson Students. The Ombudsperson Students is an independent party who offers impartial advice, mediation, or referral within the help structure of the TU/e. The Ombudsperson Students is thus a second-line facility.
