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.
