Students, this position will operationalize a conflict resolution

may assist in providing education and outreach support to employees
and students at Seattle University. This program will further support
student, faculty, and staff retention by providing a non-adjudicative
option for supporting the resolution of conflicts which, when left
unaddressed, impacts individual decisions to remain at the
University.
