As you likely know, the deans have engaged consultants in restorative practices to work with members of the AS&E community. Since March, they have met with and held multiple restorative conversations and circles with a wide array of faculty members, staff, and students, in multiple departments and within senior university administration.
In January, they will be offering introductory trainings in Restorative Practices for the AS&E community, and I encourage your participation. The initial training will introduce the circle process and ways that restorative practices can enhance communication, demonstrate how to use a restorative lens to manage conflict, and provide methods for enhancing collaboration in meetings.
The session(s) are scheduled for the following dates and times:
Monday, January 14th from 1:30 - 5:00 pm in Haven's Lounge, Wilson Commons Rm. 409
Please use this form to indicate which session you will attend.
Contact Michael Droel (mdroel@ur.rochester.edu) with any questions or concerns.
