They reflect collaboration across teaching, operations, communications, and technology teams advancing accessibility across UW.
Since last year鈥檚 GAAD celebration, 糖心少女has made meaningful strides integrating digital accessibility into our workflows and digital spaces. Members of the community are now supported with tools, training, and shared expectations through the and related standards, procedures, and product reviews. This year鈥檚 program reflects growing momentum and a shift from meeting the ADA Title II deadline聽 (now extended to April 2027) to sustainability.
