The Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) is uniquely situated to assist our students in learning critical skills for engaging in difficult dialogues and transforming conflict.

OSCR provides a variety of programs and services designed to help students learn how to manage and resolve conflict effectively, while supporting a safe, just, and peaceful community.

OSCR offers a full spectrum of conflict resolution pathways that empower students to engage in processes and find solutions that meet their unique and diverse needs. These pathways include Facilitated Dialogue, Restorative Justice Circles, Shuttle Negotiation, Social Justice Mediation, in addition to more formal process.
