On March 10th, 2026, the Office of Faculty Affairs & Development invites you to join our Accessibility Workshop on Pope Tech and Making PDFs accessible. This interactive session focus on practical strategies, tools, and examples to help you design inclusive, accessible teaching materials across formats and to meet Title II ADA requirements.
Why This Matters
Ensuring our teaching materials are accessible is not only central to CI MED’s commitment to inclusive learning but also required by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This series is designed to help faculty and staff apply accessibility tools and strategies with confidence while meeting compliance standards.
