 October 8-11, 2014, Cincinnati Hilton Netherlands Plaza Hotel, Cincinnati, Ohio

Come and be part of Higher Education Sessions and a Higher Education Programs Network Meeting and events woven into the ACR Conference 2014 Program.

Higher Education sessions at ACR Conference 2014 are found on Wednesday, October 8 through to Saturday, October 11. ACR Conference 2014 sessions are a blend of research, practice, skills, policy and applications. Of special interest to educators is ACR’s New Voices program which was conceived for this year’s Conference to hear from seven students/new practitioners chosen in a juried competition to present their work. Come and hear these emerging new voices at the Members’ Luncheon on Wednesday noon, Thursday morning at the opening Plenary, the New Voices Reception on Thursday, October 10, from 5-6:45 pm. and Friday at the Presidential Luncheon.   

The Higher Education Network Meeting is Thursday, October 10, from 7 - 9:00 pm following the New Voices Reception, in the private dining-room at McCormick & Schmick’s (across from the Hilton). Directors and/or representatives of CR/ADR higher education programs are invited to join this “dutch” dinner to revisit the Guidelines, network and plan for future events and initiatives. For further information contact Tamra Pearson d’Estrée: tdestree@du.edu.

ACR’s Higher Education network is part of ACR - a dynamic, non-profit professional association for mediators, arbitrators, educators, trainers, conflict coaches and other conflict resolution practitioners. ACR works in a wide range of settings throughout North America and around the world.  Our multicultural and multidisciplinary organization offers a broad umbrella under which all forms of dispute resolution practice find a home.
