In Oregon, citizens are increas- ingly being asked or expected to participate in complex decisions that require a consensus. Rather than teach one professor's synthesis of a contemporary natural resource issue, faculty from six disciplines coach group process, interactive learning skills, and systems think- ing as a way to address complex issues from multiple perspective.
