Staff Philosophy for Collaborating with
Parents/Guardians
• We encourage students to take an active role in
working to resolve problems that may arise.
• Conflicts always have multiple perspectives and
points of view. We work to gather all perspectives
and learn as much as we can about the situation.
• Professional and student staff members are
trained in conflict mediation skills and can often
help roommates to acquire necessary listening
and communication skills that will assist them
throughout their time of living on campus.
• Staff will work directly with the students involved
to help resolve the issue.
