What are some strategies for managing conflict?
Mediation is a strategy for resolving conflict. The Office of the Dean of Faculties and Associate Provost conducts on-going basic mediation training sessions for faculty and administrators as well provide services for individuals who are interested in resolving conflict through mediation. Are there Mediators on campus? The individuals represented on this list reflect the group of volunteer faculty and administrators who have been trained as “Mediators.” These individuals completed a minimum of 40 hours of basic training for mediators recommended by the State Bar of Texas. Upon completion of these sessions, participants received a 40-hour Basic Mediation Training certificate and are now able to serve (or are now serving) as mediators. Training sessions were designed for active participation through the use of intensive case study scenarios, conflict management models, and mini lectures.
