Clarification for: Ask A Mediator

The Mediation Team wants to ensure that everyone understands the specific focus of Ask A Mediator by clarifying what topics make for an appropriate submission.  We are here to address interpersonal issues that arise between individuals that may include conflicts, communication breakdowns, or other matters that affect relationships and collaboration within your department. Any issue or question that pertains to the FA contract, your department policy, or MCC policy should be brought through those respective channels. 

The Mediation Team is a valuable resource within MCC, dedicated to helping employees resolve interpersonal issues and conflicts effectively, in a respectful and unbiased manner. We encourage open communication and a harmonious work environment.

Submit your question via our Mediator Question Form. You will be directed to a form where you can enter your question without revealing your identity. Questions received will be carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in an upcoming edition of the FAN publication.

If you have an interpersonal matter that you believe requires mediation or conflict coaching, please feel free to email Susan Bender (Spearlberg@monroecc.edu) or call her at (585) 685-6220.
