The Southern Miss MBA Program recently piloted a two-week intersession course in negotiation and conflict resolution. Taught by retired Shell Oil executive Keith Morris '82, the class challenged students to apply strategies in bargaining, cooperation, creative deal structuring, and relationship building.

Three students were ultimately selected to put their newly developed skills to the test while negotiating a fictional commercial real estate deal live in front of their classmates.
