VP and Dean of Students

This is where I began mediating, since most problems that land on a VP's desk are pretty big by the time they get there. When other departments started asking for my conflict management help, then the prez tapped me to facilitate campus-wide change meetings, I decided to take a course...the rest is history. Served as interim VP in my last year.
