Student mediators, Technical Sgt. Erick Hernandez and Rosalind Meador, role play during a mock mediation session of the Advanced Mediation course held in Washington, D.C., Aug. 31, 2022. During this caucus, the mediator is meeting privately with one party to give that party an opportunity to discuss details they may not be comfortable sharing. The Department of the Air Force partnered with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to bring about this training. (Courtesy photo by Kimberly Mlinaz)
