Creating an accessible environment requires everyone to participate. As a student on campus, you'll inevitably find yourself in a position to contribute to this environment, whether it's giving a presentation in class, coordinating with group members on projects, running events in your club/sports activities or even in a role as a teaching assistant.
If you've never used the accessibility checker in Word or organized a student event before, taking accessibility into account can seem more complicated than it really is. If you're unsure, feel free to ask for help! The Equity and Accessibility office can answer any questions or concerns you might have.
With a bit of pre-planning and forethought, creating accessible events can be easy. Creating accessible events helps you to simply create better events and ensure you're reaching your entire audience effectively.
The resources below will help you think about event planning – like the way you advertise, collect data on participants and their needs, organize the event and collect feedback afterward.
Did you know the typical Microsoft software you likely use in your day-to-day already has existing accessibility features you can easily access? These features allow everyone to create, communicate and collaborate on any device.
