Instructors: Pauline Beazer James, Senior Advisor, International Student and Scholar Services; and Brandon Paulson, Assistant Director, International Student and Scholar Services.
Description:
In this two-part interactive session, you will learn about the four intercultural conflict styles.

In addition, there will be opportunities to apply ICS concepts in practice through discussion and case studies.
Participants in this session will be able to:
- Describe the four styles of the ICS.
- Identify their personal preferred conflict style and how others approach navigating conflicts.
- Discuss potential application in work and home settings.
