We face differences everyday in our professions – in our students, our athletes, our colleagues, and in our community. These differences are as diverse as weight, sexuality, race/ethnicity, class, gender, socio-cultural backgrounds, religion, and physical and cognitive ability. This symposium focuses on practical tips for increasing knowledge and awareness when working with populations different from us, as well as research findings supporting best practice and strategies across this plethora of diverse populations.
