Mediation

Mediation

There are many opportunities within the mediation program at Bluffton, both in learning to be a mediator and in receiving mediation to resolve conflict.

The mediation program works directly with the Peace and Conflict Studies program to provide services to the Bluffton campus and community. Mediation works to create an atmosphere where conflict can be transformed. With co-mediators' help, participants collaborate to find agreements that all can accept.

Bluffton University has partnered with Janet Mitchell, a mediator with 21 years of experience, to develop a mediation program grounded in the values of transformative mediation which will provide mediators and mediation training for a variety of disputes. Bluffton has long believed in promoting the principles of restorative justice, peacemaking and service.
