Conflict Resolution & Education
Got conflict? We got you.
Conflict Resolution & Education provides services, support, and resources that empower the William & Mary community to navigate difficult conversations well and resolve issues productively.
At their core, conflicts show us opportunities for reflection and change. We value and promote conflict navigation that fosters individual growth, relational health, and community transformation.
We are committed to using restorative practices to build and strengthen our sense of community, to address issues proactively, and to engage respectfully across differences.
New for Spring 2026: Office Hours!
Stop by Conflict Resolution & Education's weekly office hours to chat with a student specialist about whatever situation you're dealing with. Whether it's how to approach a tough conversation, craft a nice but direct text, or communicate with compassion, CRE specialists can help you work through it. No problem too big or too small. Plus, we always have snacks!
Office hours are held weekly either on Mondays (1-3 PM) in Sadler 394 (just inside the SARP suite) or Thursdays (3-5 PM) in the Sadler 368 conference room (across from SARP). Look for the signs in the hallway pointing you in the right direction!
Check out our calendar here for exact dates, times, and locations!
What We Do
Preventative & Proactive
Most of us only think about conflict once it's happening, but the best time to think about conflict is before it happens. CRE is committed to creating a strong campus community that handles challenging moments well, through skill-building, dialogue facilitation, and ongoing resourcing.
Responsive & Flexible
In the midst of a sensitive situation, intense conflict, or difficult group dynamic, CRE can help coach you to respond well and facilitate processes that help bring greater understanding, closure, and resolution. Our services are flexible to meet your needs and are developed collaboratively with everyone involved.
