Mediation is a method for resolving conflicts. The philosophy behind mediation is that decisions created by people working together are more likely to succeed. At the CRC, neutral mediators help the parties define the problem, brainstorm possibilities, and determine a course of action that is mutually beneficial.
Mediation deals with disputes privately and confidentially.
The mediators make the environment fair and constructive. A session can usually be arranged within a week. The Conflict Resolution Center provides neutral student mediators chosen from participants in the Practicum in Conflict Mediation training course taught by Dr. Madeline Maxwell of the Department of Communication Studies.
