Digital Accessibility Faculty Champions
As you work to improve the digital accessibility of your courses, Digital Accessibility Faculty Champions are available to help during the 2026–27 academic year. They can help you find answers, useful resources and ways to move forward.
Faculty Champions are subject librarians with training in digital accessibility and knowledge of campus accessibility resources. As fellow faculty members, they understand the demands of teaching, research and service and can offer peer support and practical guidance based on your needs.
