We\u2019ve continued to partner with the amazing people at the <a href=\"http:\/\/eca.state.gov\/programs-initiatives\/sports-diplomacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Department of State<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/espnw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">espnW<\/a> to carry out the Empowering Women and Girls Through Sport Initiative (check the website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/globalsportswomen.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">globalsportswomen.org<\/a>). And, we continue to provide\u00a0UT students opportunities to connect with diverse populations\u00a0right here in Knoxville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve done our best to keep all of our followers updated through our different social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and Flickr. And, we\u2019ve recently created an instagram (<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/sportandpeaceut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@sportandpeaceUT<\/a>) to share the amazing photos taken by our staff, highlighting incredible athletes, coaches, students, and sports professionals from around the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_248\" style=\"width: 392px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\/sportandpeace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/15289742062_f7a11cf84b_h.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248\" class=\" wp-image-248\" src=\"http:\/\/cehhs.utk.edu\/sportandpeace\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2015\/01\/15289742062_f7a11cf84b_h.jpg?w=625\" alt=\"Drs.
