Mediation

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process that allows individuals to resolve their conflicts with the assistance of a neutral third party. The UMBC Center for Mediation and Conflict Resolution offers mediation services through professionally trained faculty, staff and student volunteers. Each mediation session is conducted by two mediators.

Members of the campus community who are experiencing interpersonal conflicts are invited to contact the UMBC Center for Mediation and Conflict Resolution to explore the possibilities of using the center's mediation services.

Faculty, staff and students who desire to serve as volunteer mediators may contact the center for information concerning mediator training requirements and upcoming training dates.
