Personnel from Bowen Center’s Syracuse office as well as the company’s public relations department also attended. Starke, who serves Bowen Center clients from the center’s Marshall County office, specializes in anti-bullying training. He reminded students that conflict and bullying are often confused with each other. Part of the presentation included Starke and Hellinga teaching the students the difference between conflict and bullying. Founded in 1961, the Otis R.
