Get the most out of your day and support your colleagues by following a few simple guidelines:

• Mute your mic when you aren’t speaking.

• Do your best to stay attentive and focused. We all have the temptation to multitask during video sessions. We are asking everyone to please stay present in the moment and show courteousness to your presenters by avoiding distractions. In other words, let’s be model students and learn together!

Building an Anonymous Mediation Program at CNM Presented by Melissa Franklin, MSE; Margaret Menache, Director of Dispute Resolution Services for Faculty at UNM

Target Audience: Faculty, Staff, Students Description: As the CoVid era continues to inflate civil unrest, physical and emotional hardship and inter-personal challenges, what can we learn from the experts about how to create a protected and neutral space for difficult conversations? What would it take to create such a space among faculty, staff and/or students?


Currently, at many colleges the primary route for difficult conversations exists at only two ends of a spectrum. Either the process is so casual as to invite a lack of commitment, or so extreme that it may involve supervisors, human resources and/or a union representative. Data demonstrates that most disputes can be resolved without formal action or litigation, if only a process in place that is solution-oriented, and yet at the same time does not require a solution. Most so-called 'disputes' dissolve when a truly confidential arrangement, preferably with mediators who are unfamiliar to both parties, is created. If folks are willing to enter into a trust, agree to simply listen, and there is ample space to have a turn to be heard, creative solutions often emerge. Under stress, people comprehend information at four grade levels below normal, and fear can shut down the verbal brain. It is imperative that the process build in time to reflect, self-regulate, and find the words for expression. Well-evidenced mediation techniques with innovative options will be covered in a fast-moving, highly interactive discussion, with opportunities for mini-mindfulness as well as to practice scenarios with breakout groups.
