Conflict and Connection

The Office of Community Enrichment (OCE) seeks to cultivate a campus environment that sees conflict not as an obstacle to be avoided, but as an opportunity for deeper, more meaningful connection. Our initiatives provide professional development opportunities, education, and continually evolving suites of resources to support our community in embracing conflict as a possibility.
