Foundations in Constructive Dialogue: A Workshop for Student Leaders
Student leaders are often expected to guide their peers through high-pressure situations. This five-hour interactive experience gives them the tools to lead with empathy, communicate with confidence, and support inclusive dialogue.
Equip Student Leaders to Facilitate Dialogue and Navigate Conflict
Peer leaders are regularly placed in the middle of tension—whether as residence hall staff, club officers, orientation leaders, or peer mentors. But few are given the opportunity to build the skills required to lead through conflict.
This workshop helps student leaders:
- Guide conversations among peers with care and confidence
- Address conflict as it arises
- Foster a culture of respect and inclusion across student communities
