When workplace conflict arises, it’s natural to seek a clear set of steps to follow. But real-world situations are complex—and effective conflict resolution requires more than a simple script. This full-day symposium invites you to explore the psychology behind conflict, develop practical tools for navigating tense interactions, and strengthen your confidence when addressing challenges with students, colleagues, and the public.
This event is open to all faculty and staff, and is especially relevant for frontline, administrative, and student-facing roles. Participants will hear from experts in law enforcement, mental health and higher education, and will return to their workplace better equipped to respond to conflict with clarity, confidence and care.
Lunch will be provided. Registration preferred by noon on July 18 to confirm lunch preference.
