Conflict Resolution Program
Conflict Resolution Program
Mission and Program Description
The mission of the Conflict Resolution Program is to help on-campus students
constructively address differences by providing opportunities to engage in dialogue that
promotes accountability, mutual responsibility, self-reflection, effective listening,
creative thinking, and ultimately, new understanding.
Avenues for addressing conflict include mediation, conflict coaching, group facilitation,
and training.
Goals Include:
Providing an educational process that honors self-determination, voluntary
engagement, confidentiality, and insightful dialogue.
Helping students recognize the positive opportunities that can be presented by engaging
in conflict productively.
Developing the ability to understand ones own patterns of conflict engagement
while recognizing the variety of conflict styles (comporomise, cooperation, collaboration, and
consensus building) that exist.
Fostering active listening skills to facilitate understanding.
