About

Next CHAT: Thursday 7 December, 1:30p-2:30p at the Auraria Library Cafe. Look for our table sign! 

The Instructional Accessibility Group is excited to announce our new CHATs, Coffee House Accessibility Talks. We invite all faculty, full-time and affiliates, to join us for casual discussion on accessibility and teaching. Please join us for community and learning while we meet our colleagues and help each other expand accessibility. You are welcome to join us even if you can only attend part of the CHAT.

We are asking faculty to bring us your instructional accessibility questions! Each CHAT has a proposed discussion topic if faculty run out of questions, but the CHATs are so we can get to know each other and most importantly, so the IAG can learn what faculty really need from us.

The IAG will buy your first coffee or tea!
