UNCG Conflict Studies and North Carolinians storm ACR

Students and faculty from UNCG's Program in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution and conflict professionals from all over North Carolina attended the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) national conference in Atlanta in force this year. Nine students from both the residential and on-line programs attended and faculty made 5 presentations. At least six other conflict professionals from North Carolina were spotted during the conference, but many more "sightings" were reported.

During the conference, Rev. Nelson and Mrs. Joyce Johnson from Greensboro were honored with the Diversity and Equity Award for their work with the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Project (and later Commission) and the Beloved Community Center.

Despite the conference being held in Atlanta, North Carolina and Greensboro were well represented.
