Priscilla Ellis
HMP Clinical Supervisor, 1999-2017 [su_spoiler title=”Bio” style=”default” anchor=””]
Prill Ellis, a clinical/community psychologist, joined the Harvard Mediation Program (HMP) in 1994 as a community member and succeeded Michael Moffitt, HLS ’94 and former President of HMP, as Clinical Supervisor in 1999. Prill spent much of her college and graduate education within ivy-covered walls (Radcliffe, Harvard, Yale), but discovered that some of her most important personal and professional growth occurred beyond those walls in places such as the Harvard Mediation Program. During her tenure at HMP Prill believed passionately that the collaborative climate, the unique mix of students, community members, staff and faculty, and the challenges of working with a variety of clients in conflict situations, made HMP an exceptionally supportive and stimulating learning community. Although no longer a member of the HMP staff, Prill returned to her community roots at HMP and continues to mediate and also serves on HMP’s Advisory Board.[/su_spoiler]
