Madison College students are invited to join faculty, staff, administrators and community leaders to hear Bruce Patton, co-author of the bestselling book Getting to Yes and an international consultant on conflict resolution. His presentation, “Collaborating When You Disagree: How to Take Differences in Stride and Make Them Work for You,” takes place Monday, October 5, 10:00-11:30 a.m. in the Mitby Theater.

Patton’s book Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In is the foundational text for the interest based approach we are using at Madison College for problem solving in programs, departments and offices as well as in shared governance bodies.

The presentation is free and open to the public. Bring your copy of Getting to Yes to be signed by Mr. Patton starting at 9:30 a.m. Copies of Getting to Yes will be available for sale by the Madison College Bookstore outside of the Mitby Theater.
