Founder
Rosie Ezgur
"Hello everyone! I am currently a Junior at the University of Arizona studying Law and Spanish. After volunteering to judge a the National High School Mock Mediation Tournament in 2022, I met Kathie CalkinsKeyes and Richard "Dick" Calkins, Founder of the International Academy of Dispute Resolution (INADR). Kathie, tournament director and active board member of the INADR, encouraged me to participate in Dick's mediation tournament training lessons. I was inspired to begin the Arizona Mediation Team! Learning how to resolve conflicts and settle disputes is useful in all fields of life (business, law, personal, etc). I find many parallels between my Spanish translation work as an intercultural mediator. I am excited to bring mediation to the U of A!"
Co-President
Jack Miller
"I love mediation for the people and professional experience. We have such a wonderful community in our club and I love getting to know and learn with these wonderful people! I have also gained valuable experience. The skills I have learned are applicable to everyday conflict resolution, and will be extra useful if you choose to go into the legal field."

I joined Arizona Mediation because I have aspirations of attending law school to study international trade and business law! Mediation provides you with unique skills for conflict resolution and I have loved learning more about how it can be applied in a legal setting. I am so excited to be more involved with mediation and social media this year!
