Accessibility Ambassadors - Student panel on accessibility: Everyone is welcome… but are we?

When discussing accessibility, digital or otherwise, there are a lot of things to consider—legal compliance, technical needs, standards, etc. However, at its very core, accessibility is about people. The reason that accessibility is important is because of the people who are affected by inaccessible content.

On April 29, we are very fortunate to have a group of University of Minnesota students who identify as people with disabilities willing to discuss their experiences and share how inaccessibility affects them in their lives, careers, and education.

Please join us!
