About Us

Our trainers and consultants include graduate students, community members, faculty and staff with training and experience in interpersonal communication skills, mediation, negotiation, facilitation and group consultation.  Its contribution to University community life was recognized with the Chancellor's Award for Public Service in Spring 2000.

The goal of this website is to provide information on the activities of CMC, as well as to provide specific tools and advice to students and people in the Syracuse neighborhood to manage and possibly resolve conflicts.

CMC is active in various activities, both off and on campus at SU. If you are interested in seeing what these activities, please go to our TRAINING and OUTREACH links. Participation in CMC is on a voluntary basis, and we draw mostly from graduate students in Public Administration, International Relations and a variety of social sciences at SU. We are always hoping to include more people in our community, so please contact us.

CMC is available to share its resources with the university and community and help in any way we can.  Refer to our Links, Readings, and Handouts page for a starting point in conflict resolution.  Although we cannot guarantee a successful resolution, we hope we can be a source of inspiration.

Finally, if you would like to contact us for any particular reason, either to draw on our expertise, for help, to relate valuable stories of disputes and their resolution, or to admire the website, please contact us!
