Two teams of students from Maharishi University of Management (MUM) participated in the 12th Annual Peacemaker's Invitational Mediation Tournament last month at the University of Wisconsin, Platteville, with Matt Rees winning the award of top mediator in conference-style mediation and the team comprising Mr. Rees, Nicholas Coelho, and Brando Piggue earning second in the mediation category.

The same team also did well at the International Intercollegiate Mediation Tournament at Drake Law School. They qualified for the semifinals and finished 13th out of 40 teams.

Mr. Coelho took 4th place in the individual mediator category out of 120 mediators.

The team members were students in Vicki Alexander Herriott's mediation and negotiation class in November.

"It's a great opportunity for our students to participate in intercollegiate competition and practice the communication, negotiation, and mediation skills we learn in class," said Ms. Herriott, who coached the students. "We are the smallest school to participate in the International tournament, but our presence is recognized. We have consistently placed in the top 10."

Ms. Herriott's entire class also attended the 5th Annual Congress of the International Academy of Dispute Resolution, and had the opportunity to hear presentations and attend workshops with professional mediators. Students and practitioners from all over the world attended the two-day conference in Des Moines.

On the last weekend of the course, MUM hosted 14 teams for MUM's 5th Annual Peacemaker's Invitational Mediation Tournament. The MUM team of Donna Jones and Elizabeth Fowler came in 4th in both the client advocate and mediation categories.
