About the Student Ombuds Office

Adriel Ghadoushi is a JD candidate (Class of 2026) at the Law School. Originally from Los Angeles, he earned his BS in Society & Environment from UC Berkeley.

Before law school, Adriel worked in corporate sustainability and founded a nonprofit focused on civic engagement. He serves on the University Student Health Advisory Board and is passionate about making campus resources more accessible to all students.

As a Student Ombuds, Adriel offers a welcoming space where students can discuss any university-related concerns, big or small. He’s here to listen without judgment and help you explore options for moving forward in a confidential setting.

Outside of his academic and ombuds work, Adriel enjoys sharing his Persian heritage through cooking (with a plant-based twist) and traveling with his partner.
