- conveying a welcoming and inclusive attitude towards students and employees with disabilities in one’s department
- utilizing elements of universal instructional design in one’s curriculum that at the same time enhance accessibility
- paying particular attention to accessibility when planning projects or events at the University
If you know someone who has made such efforts, they may be eligible for an award! More information about the award, and access the online application form, can be found on the Equity Office website.
