"Max was extremely helpful and empathic. Really appreciate the approach and the active listening, as well as strategies to help us out."

"I worked with Adepeju Solarin on a department issue. 'Peju was wonderful and went above and beyond to attend two department events. We hope to schedule a Conflict 101 workshop with OCR."

"I met with Peju and ze was empathetic and understanding, and I felt ze listened to me deeply. I appreciated the consultation and felt better about the situation after we finished."

"Peju was great at listening to me and validating my concerns! My issues are not huge, but they are lots of things that are piling up, so it was nice to talk with someone who could listen to my experiences and provide me with advice on next steps."

"The woman I spoke to was amazingly understanding. It helped me tremendously for her to put a label to the emotions I was feeling, and to validate that it was perfectly understandable that I felt that way."

"They were very responsive, respectful, and validating. I went into a contentious situation equipped with a clear mind and objective to a solution after meeting with OCR. It actually saved me from leaving my position."

"This is one of the most valuable central resources in the University!"

"This was so incredibly helpful!!! My staff have expressed increased morale!"

"I found OCR to be a neutral advisor that presented my options based on the facts of my situation. Through several meetings with OCR, I realized the best option for myself to move forward."

"I was most impressed with the professional manner in which my concerns were addressed. Until my consultation with OCR I was frustrated, angry and at a loss for how to proceed with my issue. After one consultation I felt like I had a handle on the situation and a number of possible options for action. I was also really impressed with the session on conflict competence. I think it is a smart approach to have people recognizing the ongoing place of conflict in a work environment rather than a subject to be avoided until it becomes a problem. This office is a great, if perhaps under-utilized, asset to the U."
