The Sustained Dialogue Institute helps citizens around the world to transform their relationships and to design and implement sustainable change processes. The Sustained Dialogue Campus Network (SDCN) first began to form as a student-created branch of SDI in 1999 and has since grown to exist on over 40 campuses worldwide with countless students, faculty, and staff using the SD process to solve conflicts and create more inclusive campus communities. As Program Director for SDCN, Michaela spends much of her time supporting students and campus professionals in building collaborative problem solving skills and in designing and sustaining campus dialogue initiatives. Michaela supports campuses in applying the SD model to retreat-based, course-based, and extra-curricular settings. Before joining the SDI team, Michaela worked as the Program Manager at Campus Compact where she led the redesign of the Newman Civic Fellows program, building it into a high impact fellowship program for college students nationally. Prior to her work at Campus Compact, Michaela worked as a staff member at Denison University helping to increase institutional capacity around student success and retention. Michaela has also applied her conflict transformation skills as a former staff member at Seeds of Peace, where she worked on domestic and international conflict resolution summer programs supporting teenagers from eight countries. Michaela is an alumna of Denison University, where she was first introduced to the power of the Sustained Dialogue model as a student.
