THE FIVE “C”s TO AVOIDING CONFLICT

CARE
You must take care of yourself as well as show care (respect) for others.

COMMUNICATE
Take the time to learn about others, their likes; dislikes; habits. Be open to share the same. Practice being an active listener.

COMPASSION
Be considerate of the other person. Show concern and empathy toward another who may be experiencing a difficult time. Allow others to show the same toward you.

COMPROMISE
Be willing to take a step back. Concede. Say, “I’m sorry.” Realize that things may not always go your way.

COMPLY
Follow the VUU Standards of Conduct as outlined in the Student Handbook. In addition, make sure to obey all state and federal laws and regulations. Remind your fellow students to do the same.
