MATC Conflict
Management Services
Selected as Exemplary Program
The Conflict Management
Services program at Madison Area Technical College (MATC) has been selected
by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA)
for inclusion in the organization’s upcoming publication, Exemplary
Programs: Bridges to Student Success.
The NASPA selected
MATC’s Conflict Management Services for its unique approach to encouraging
and facilitating informal resolutions to student-related conflicts. The
service provides students and staff members with many forms of assistance
in managing the conflicts in their lives, particularly with those among
members of the campus community. One of them is a mediation method characterized
by structured communication with a neutral mediator designed to result
in win-win outcomes for all parties.
With over 8,000
individual members and more than 1,175 member campuses, NASPA provides
professional development, promotes exemplary practices and is a leader
in policy development. The organization helps senior student affairs officers
and administrators, student affairs professionals, faculty and other educators
enhance student learning and development. NASPA promotes quality and high
expectations; advocates for students; encourages diversity; and excels
in research and publication.
MATC is one of the largest of the Wisconsin Technical College System’s
16 colleges and serves about 50,000 students each year. It provides a
comprehensive curriculum of technical, liberal arts and science, adult
basic education and life enrichment studies and activities, as well as
customized employee training. MATC provides training in more than 100
career programs. It awards associate degrees, vocational diplomas and
certificates, and offers non-degree courses. The college serves all or
parts of 12 counties located in south-central Wisconsin and offers instruction
