Abstract
This session will offer an interactive diversity training consisting of two exercises that will open diversity dialogue within the attendees. The "Privilege Walk" is an interesting twist on the concept of self-identification. Take a step forward out of your comfort zone and learn to erase ignorance. Questions in themselves are a form of learning. When people pose a question, they may not learn about the person who answers the question; they also learn about themselves through introspection. For this reason "Have you ever wondered?" is an intricate part of the learning and mental development process.
