Delivered in partnership with the ECU Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement, this virtual professional development session will equip participants with the skills to facilitate meaningful conversations about contentious issues. Participants will learn out-of-the box strategies to proactively create a culture of trust, techniques to support the development of students’ mindsets and skills for engaging across differences, and specific tactics to intervene in tense moments of conflict. The workshop will be interactive and experiential. Faculty, staff, and student leaders will learn new techniques and then will apply them through case studies and examples with their peers. Sponsored by the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement.

Facilitators: Leslie Garvin, executive director, NC Campus Engagement; Bob Frigo, assistant dean and director, Kernodle Center for Civic Life, Elon University.
