Mediation Works! This is the message of Bluffton University's new project to help educate the regional community about Bluffton's mediation program.
"Bluffton University has a tradition of peacemaking," said Dr. Rory Stauber, director of Bluffton's Pathways to Mission and Vocation project and community liaison for Bluffton's mediation program. "Mediation Works! - A Public Awareness and Education Project is a way for us to build and grow our region's understanding and support for mediation as an alternative approach to resolving both criminal and civil issues. We are excited that the JAMS Foundation has chosen to support our public education project," said Stauber.
JAMS, the nation's premier provider of private dispute resolution services, established the non-profit JAMS Foundation to offer financial assistance for conflict resolution initiatives with national or international impact and to share its dispute resolution experience and expertise for the benefit of the public interest.
Grants are awarded annually for dispute resolution related projects that present unique opportunities or innovative approaches to providing dispute resolution education, training or services.
