Personal Integrity

Personal Integrity, part of the Dean of Students office, helps students as they navigate through conflicts. Although conflicts are inevitable, conflicts are not always negative as proper conflict management can help grow and strengthen relationships. Personal Integrity can help students navigate conflicts in one-on-one meetings regarding:

• Roommates
• Friends
• Groups
• Members of the SRU community

To request a consultation, you can go here to submit a Care referral.

Mediations

Members of Personal Integrity can host mediations where both parties involved in a conflict discuss their concerns along with strategies to move forward. As mediators, Personal Integrity remains a neutral party as all participants work toward solutions.

Students that live on-campus can connect with their CA involving roommate conflicts. Any student interested in a mediation that doesn’t live on-campus can go here to submit a Care referral. Please note that all parties involved in the conflict need to be SRU students for a member of Personal Integrity to mediate.

Group Gameplans

Group Gameplans are workshops helping student groups (teams, student organizations, Greek life, and more) evolve and grow. There are two different Group Gameplans available:

• Expectations: An abbreviated discussion on defining conflict with a large emphasis on expectations for group members, expectations for supervisors by group members, and expectations for group members by supervisors. Great for new groups or groups comprised of paid employees.
• Dynamics: An abbreviated discussion on what conflict is, different conflict styles, and strategies to combat conflict with emphasis on group dynamics, group roles, group values, and group motivation. Great for established groups or groups connected with a specific purpose or mission.
