Join us for the three-day Accessibility Bootcamp, designed specifically for Binghamton University staff and faculty!

Held from Tuesday, May 19 through Thursday, May 21 (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM daily) in the Zurack Room (and a remote option?). This bootcamp is your opportunity to gain essential skills and knowledge to become an accessibility ambassador for your department. The schedule is structured by day:

Tuesday (Policy Day): Foundational sessions on the history of disability rights and policy discussions including purchasing, VPATs, Pcards, and risk analysis. An "Ask Me Anything" session with the team will be held during lunch.
Wednesday (Document Day): Hands-on workshops covering document accessibility in Canva, Adobe Express, PowerPoint, Slides, and general PDF fixes in Acrobat.
Thursday (GAAD): Sessions on web design principles, Omni Update, and creating accessible documents in Word and Google Docs.

The event will conclude on Thursday with a special celebration for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), which includes a session on accessibility on the web over time and WCAG history. Lunch will be provided each day.
