The Mediation Centre offers assistance to individuals and groups in conflict at the University. Students, staff and faculty can access the Centre for free. Training, group facilitation, mediation, conciliation, chairing of meetings, strategic planning leadership, prevention and de-escalation, team building and problem-solving facilitation, consultation and advice are available upon request from the Centre. The Mediation Centre uses a collaborative problem-solving process by which individuals and groups in conflict identify and resolve their problems with their conflicts with the help of an impartial third party who has no decision-making power. Roommate, landlord-tenant, interpersonal relationships, neighbourhood, sexual harassment, and human rights are some of the disputes handled through the Centre.
Every September, the Centre recruits volunteers among faculty, staff, students and Ottawa South residents and trains them as mediators. Please contact the Centre if you are interested in becoming a volunteer. The Centre also offers academic and teaching support and hosts an annual Symposium on Conflict Resolution in February. Please contact the Centre for more information.
