Nearing Our Destination? Conflict Resolution and Problem Solving in a Changing World

The Wells College Activism Symposium Committee invites you to attend the 12th Annual Activism Symposium.Where are we going as a College, a community, a nation, a globe? What does it mean to resolve a conflict? What does it mean to solve a problem? Who decides when a problem is resolved or a conflict ended?
