Once a semester, AU Conflict Resolution Services offer offers a 24-hour Basic Mediation Skills course. The training usually takes place over a weekend and is available to AU students, faculty, and staff at no charge. Completion of training allows you to serve as a volunteer mediator, but those who complete the training are not obligated to become a mediator. If you are interested in applying to be an In-Hall Mediator, you must complete this training.
