    Hello everyone! While this is not library-centered, I believe many here will nevertheless find it interesting and useful.
     
    Please join us at the upcoming ASU Accessibility Awareness Day Conference, scheduled for November 7, 2024, at the Memorial Union on the ASU Tempe Campus and online.
     
    This one-day, hybrid event, organized by the ASU Universal Design & Access Technology (UDAT) Working Group, is dedicated to enhancing digital accessibility in higher education. Register at Eventbrite - no conference fees. Completely free! 
     
    We are also interested in learning about your accessibility expertise and innovative practices. Submit your conference presentation proposal by September 20, 2024, to be considered for presenting at the conference.
    Whether you plan to present or not, we hope you will register to attend at the conference and contribute to our culture of inclusive excellence. More information can be found on the ASU Accessibility Awareness Day website, or email our team at accessibility@asu.edu with any questions.
    Best,
    Karen
