Connections: Building Empathy, Community, and Understanding

Introduction
Accessibility is an ongoing endeavor, and thus the Instructional Accessibility Group is constantly looking for new ways to guide faculty to proactive accessibility and promote accessibility awareness and inclusion. We firmly believe that proactive accessibility helps all students regardless of accommodation disclosure status.
