Services at the University of Denver

University of Denver's Conflict Resolution Institute
At the University of Denver, we believe it is important to explore theories, methods, approaches, and practical techniques in conflict resolution that cross conventional disciplinary boundaries. We aspire to lead as the premier research center in the Rocky Mountain region, and indeed the hub of Conflict Resolution focus between the Mississippi and the West Coast.
