Accessibility Working Session
April 1, 2026 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Stepping Towards the April 24 Accessibility Deadline
The April 24 deadline to ensure all digital instructional materials meet accessibility standards is approaching fast! But, you don’t have to tackle this alone. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, need another set of eyes to ensure you’re on the right track, or simply need a dedicated time to work on your instructional materials, the Center for Faculty Excellence is here to help. Join us for our Accessible Instructional Materials Work Sessions and stay for as little or as long as you need. This is a space for you to focus on making your digital instructional materials accessible with a team nearby to answer your questions and help you reach the finish line.
What to bring:
- Digital Instructional Materials (syllabi, slide decks, or documents) that you need help with making accessible
- Your Laptop (optional): You are welcome to bring your own device, but it is not required since Gyte 158 is a computer lab.
Snacks will be provided
