Want to learn the different pathways to resolve conflict? The Student Rights and Responsibilities Office (SRR) is offering professional development opportunities for faculty and staff.
Please watch our introduction video to learn more about how you can resolve conflicts that arise in the workplace and even in your personal life by learning skills in Adaptable Dispute Resolution.
Adaptable Dispute Resolution, also known as ADR, is a collaborative approach to problem solving. It offers individuals a way to more fully understand the viewpoint of the other party, or parties, involved in a conflict or disagreement. It also allows for parties to come up with more creative alternatives to solving issues and is often more conversationally based.
The upcoming courses are listed below, along with registration links. **Please note that you must complete the ADR course before signing up for any other trainings.
