Subject: NAME conference highlights

As Chair of NAME's Higher Education Committee, I want to encourage people to 
consider making plans to come to Seattle and join us for an exciting 
national conference that will address conflict resolution at all levels of 
our educational system. We have time set aside for networking meetings with 
Higher Ed folks each night (as well as other groups), and there are many 
interesting workshops to choose from.

Highlights from the program for the National Association for Mediation in 
Education 10th annual conference (July 22-26, 1995, in Seattle)include the 
following workshops and panel presentations that might be of particular 
interest to college and university folks. The theme for the conference is 
"Creating Community: Taking Conflict Resolution to the Streets" (Note: my 
choice of which programs to list here is highly subjective, and there a lots 
more sessions that are not included here that might interest folks a 
well...) For more info and registration materials, contact NAME at 
name@acad.umass.edu or by phone at (413) 545-2462.
