About Us
Vision
Campus conflicts are navigated and resolved in ways that foster individual growth, strengthen our community, and impact change in areas of need.
Purpose
To empower the William & Mary community to navigate conflicts with confidence and competence.
Values
Courage
Doing conflict is hard. We help and support you in taking the scary and uncomfortable steps to engage conflict productively.
Empowerment
You can’t outsource your conflicts. We empower parties in conflict to be wise decision makers about their conflict navigation and resolution options.
Growth
Healthy conflict grows us. It involves trying new skills, making mistakes, hearing from other perspectives, and articulating your needs, all of which help us grow individually and as a community.
Integration
Conflict shows up everywhere. We collaborate with partners across campus so that good conflict practices and skills are embedded into the fabric of campus life.
