Courses will be taught by experienced faculty from Columbus and around the country.

“We are especially pleased to have Nina Meierding, a nationally know ADR educator, teach a special course on how culture and gender impact negotiation and mediation processes,” said Scot Dewhirst, co-director of the Center for Dispute Resolution at Capital University Law School. “Nina is a national leader in the field of conflict resolution and has trained thousands of individuals in businesses, courts, school districts, governmental agencies, medical centers, corporations and universities throughout the United States and abroad.”

The Business Negotiation class will be taught in an online format, allowing attendees to take the course from the comfort of their home or office. Nationally recognized ADR expert Larry Ray will facilitate this online course from his office in Washington, D.C.
