AU's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Task Force is pleased to offer an information session/ conversation on the topic of Digital Accessibility. Digital Accessibility is the practice of creating electronic materials that are usable by all individuals, regardless of disability status or the use of assistive technology. It is also an important step to further promote inclusivity among our students, staff, and faculty.
The session will provide a brief overview of Digital Accessibility, as it applies to Title II of Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as practical steps everyone can take to increase the accessibility of their documents, web pages, and course materials. A variety of instructions, tools, and resources will also be provided.
This event will be held on Tuesday, November 18 from 11:00am to 12:00pm. To request the Zoom link, please email Meghanne Freivald or Chris Gause.

This Thursday, AU will be celebrating First Gen Day! A First Generation student is a student whose parents/guardians did not complete a bachelor's degree. This means that even if a parent attended college but did not graduate, the student is still considered first-generation.
We will be tabling in Powell from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm and will have t-shirts and pins to give away. Followed by a short celebration at 4:45 pm in the Knight Club. This year, there will be a First Gen Champion named for all that they do to support first-gen students.
If you believe you are a First Gen Student (this includes faculty and staff), please confirm on the short 1-minute survey below. Also, add a few motivating words for our fellow First Gen students!
