Patricia Battie Injects Her Enthusiasm into Mediation classes
Mediation is defined as a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques. A definition like that would test the limits of boredom when introduced into the real world. Luckily, UNLV Continuing Education’s lead instructor, Patricia Battie, goes above and beyond injecting her enthusiasm and passion into every class.
