This Thursday, May 19, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) — a recognition of the importance of digital access and inclusion for the more than one billion people with disabilities and impairments.

To celebrate, attend Accessibility Demystified — a webinar focused on helping UC staff become more familiar with accessibility and to share ideas about how individuals, locations and UC as a whole can expand access to all. Register online here.

This fast-paced event will feature 10- to 15-minute sessions, including:

• Intro to barriers faced by individuals with disabilities
• Empathy session featuring a UC staff member with a temporary disability
• Demo of how people navigate the digital environment using a keyboard only
• Tutorial on how to make content using Rich Text Editors accessible
• Gameshow about research and data that can help guide accessibility

Learn why descriptive Link text is important
