Keynote: The Power of Digital Accessibility to Build Bridges and Open Doors in Higher Ed

Campus digital accessibility professionals build bridges every day between campus technology and digital content on one side and disabled students faculty, and staff on the other. If you are one of those bridge builders, you do a lot more too: you protect civil rights, open the door to inclusion, and protect privacy. You are integral to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and you create environments of welcoming and belonging.
