Universal Design – On-Demand Training

Create Equitable & Inclusive Access to All Aspects of Your Campus Community

At times the differences between accessibility and Universal Design can cause confusion. Mitigate potential barriers to create equity to all aspects of your campus community, for all community members. By using a Universal Design approach to your facilities, housing, transportation services, co-curricular activities, and academic spaces, you can increase access to everything your campus has to offer so you can attract, retain, and engage students, staff, and visitors.

Gather your staff and colleagues for this online training with our campus legal expert as she shares campus accessibility challenges and pitfalls. You’ll be able to improve your campus access to better meet the needs of all students and staff by exploring and implementing Universal Design in everything that you offer.

This webinar is a must if you are working to ensure that your campus is more accessible and compliant with ADA legal requirements.
