October 2025 is our 13th Annual Conflict Resolution Month!
Conflict Resolution Month is a time for our community to come together and learn techniques that will help us learn how to manage and resolve conflicts. Conflict Resolution Month, sponsored by Student Legal & Mediation Services, is an example of innovative programming that helps our community focus on career readiness, personal and professional development, and, ultimately, student success. With world-class speakers coming to SHSU, Conflict Resolution Month helps to elevate the reputation and visibility of SHSU. Having experts engage in how to handle conflict better, we are helping to solve one of the many critical challenges that face our state, nation, and world.
With great sadness, the mediation community, shares the unexpected passing of Marva Gay, wife of former Association for Conflict Resolution Houston Chapter president, Rick Cagney. Marva, retired attorney from the Harris County Attorney's office, passed away on 8 September 2025, which was also her 78th birthday. She was a mediator and arbitrator. May Marva’s memory be eternal.
