Learn About Digital Accessibility At UC Berkeley

Join us as Lucy Greco, Web Accessibility Evangelist at UC Berkeley presents on the journey she and her colleagues embarked upon resulting in the creation of a UC-wide digital accessibility policy that benefits: users, buyers, content owners, and web developers. Lucy will present on this topic at the influential Educause Conference in October, we are fortunate enough to get to preview her presentation at this month's A11yBay event. In addition, a couple of UCB colleagues who work with faculty on creating accessible online content will give a short talk about their services. This is a rare opportunity to learn about how digital accessibility lives and breathes inside a higher education institution.
