Amelia Frank Award

I received an Amelia Frank Award for my work, from within the office, who was she?

🕊️ Amelia Frank: Legacy and Contributions

To spite her contributions, her legacy of 17 years, is not carried forward on the campus website. Publications I discover, carry on the silence.

1. Obituary in The Santa Barbara Independent
   A heartfelt tribute detailing Amelia Frank's life, her role in introducing women's studies at UCSB, and her tenure as Associate Ombudsperson.
   The Santa Barbara Independent

"When an Office of Ombudsman was created at the university, Geoff Wallace was appointed, and Amelia was named associate ombudsman. Again, most people had never heard the word and were totally unfamiliar with the concept. Amelia and Geoff worked cooperatively for 17 years to mediate and help resolve conflicts among students, staff, and faculty — everything from grading disputes to sexual harassment complaints (another new, unknown concept that Amelia helped teach us about!) "
