Registration is open for conflict resolution, de-escalation skills symposium for faculty, staff
U of A Office of Public Safety
When workplace conflicts arise, it’s natural to seek a clear set of steps to follow. But real-world situations are complex, and effective conflict resolution requires more than a simple script.
The University of Arizona Office of Public Safety invites U of A faculty and staff members to register for a symposium on July 30 from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. that will explore the psychology behind conflict, develop practical tools for navigating tense interactions and strengthen people's confidence when addressing challenges with students, colleagues and the public. Attendees will hear from experts in law enforcement, mental health and higher education and will return to their workplace better equipped to respond to conflicts with clarity, confidence and care.
Through engaging presentations and discussions, attendees will learn how to:
- Understand the roots of interpersonal conflict.
- Stay grounded and manage their mindset.
- Approach digital communication challenges.
- Build confidence to apply knowledge in the moment.
- Access and utilize campus support resources.
This event is open to all faculty and staff members and is especially relevant for front-line administrative and student-facing roles. Registration is $25.
