Restorative Changemaking for Student Support Services
Perspectives for Higher Education
Monday, December 12, 2022, 1pm EST
Event Overview
As part of the spectrum of alternative dispute resolution practices, restorative justice practices (RJP) include decision-making processes that collaboratively involve victims, support persons, and offenders who are charged with acknowledging responsibility for committing harm. Impacted parties work together to repair harm caused within the community and rebuild trust by forming positive social connections and relationships.
In the second event of a five-part series, we continue to delve into the practical and theoretical frameworks of RJP within college and university settings. This keynote will explore the proactive and responsive approaches student affairs professionals and administrators can utilize to build restorative communities, maintain relationships, and repair harm on campuses.
