How are students selected as mediators?
The goal is to select a diverse group of students who are representative of the entire student body, are trustworthy, empathetic, caring, with a high degree of personal responsibility and initiative. These students need to be viewed as positive role models for other students. The recruitment and selection process should include the following steps: solicitation of nominations by staff and students, information session for all nominated students, formal application from interested students, recommendations from staff members, and structured interviews with all applicants.
