CDR volunteer and Communication master’s student Denea Malone will provide a thesis presentation and defense on Thursday, July 10th, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at the Center for Dispute Resolution’s offices in Missouri State University’s Park Central Office Building room 209.

Denea has been a Girls Circle facilitator in the CDR’s programs for several years, and her thesis research for her Master’s in Communication focuses on the long-term impacts of the CDR’s Girls Circle program, with a particular emphasis on girls’ perceptions of how the program impacted their conflict resolution, communication, and social relationship skills.

The title of the session is “Everyone is their own kind of beautiful: The long term influences of the Girls Circle process.”

We hope you can join us for refreshments and to learn more about Denea’s research findings related to Girls Circle!
