Making a Difference: Diversity at Kinesiology

The School of Kinesiology works to foster a supportive community for all students and believes a broadly diverse student body enriches the learning environment. The University is a community that is committed to building an environment that values and respects every person, regardless of gender, age, race, sexual orientation, cultural background, religion, nationality, or beliefs.

Kinesiology places great value on diversity and multiculturalism and seeks to ensure a positive, supportive climate in which all individuals are welcome. The University has numerous diversity resources available and you can view all of them on the Diversity Matters at Michigan [1] comprehensive Web site. The page lists the many people, organizations and programs that support and advance diversity initiatives at the University of Michigan and beyond.

There are countless opportunities available to you at the University of Michigan. Each and every person you encounter while you are here has something valuable to share and teach you – we hope you will be open to all those possibilities.
