The program creates a win-win for OMC and Cooley by providing experiential training and practical experience to Cooley students while developing highly-trained mediators. Instructors for the program were Bonnie Hanes and Earlene Baggett-Hayes. The graduation will be held at the OMC office, 550 Hulet Dr, Suite 102, Bloomfield Hills.
