Clayton State Business Students
Winners at Mediation Tournaments
Several Clayton State University students
from a variety of majors have been com-
peting, and winning, in Mediation tourna-
ments during the month of October.
A regional tournament was held at Brenau
University on Oct. 5 and Oct. 6, Bertha
Amosu (Peachtree City), an accounting
major, earned the First Place Mediator
Award. Management majors Walter Gray
(Macon) and Sabrina Green (Dawson)
won an award as a top advocacy team.
On International Conflict Resolution Day,
Oct. 12, Georgia State University held a
mediation tournament and symposium. At
that event, Rachel Hohenstein-Higgins
(Jackson), a legal studies major, was
given the Second Place Peacemaker
Award. Other Mediation Team members
include Carrie René Thomas (Morrow), a
psychology major, and Latangila Hodges
(Rex), a supply chain management major.
Team coaches are Dr. Judith Ogden, asso-
ciate professor of Business Law, and
Alicia S. Myrick, coordinator of
Community Standards. Just prior to each
tournament, teams are sent an edited ver-
sion of facts for several cases, although all
cases will not be used at the tournament.
During a round, one team member is
matched with a student from another
school, and they will serve as co-media-
tors. The other team members play a party
to the dispute and that party’s advocate
before a different pair of mediators.
Students are scored on their performances
as mediators and as an advocacy team.
The students are now preparing for the
national competition which will be held
on Nov. 1 to Nov. 3, at Brenau University.
