Yoga class and chair massages will be available to all participants. Monday at 1 p.m. is the yoga session and chair massages will be Tuesday starting at 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. every 15 minutes.  There will be a sign-up sheet the morning of the 3rd for the chair massages. Lunch and a light breakfast will be provided each day.  This is a fully in-person event and seating is limited.

Friday the 13th may be unlucky—but your students shouldn’t be! Join us for a practical and engaging session that shows how accessible course design helps all students thrive. We’ll focus on real strategies that remove learning barriers and support student success. In this session, we’ll cover: 

• Why accessibility benefits everyone, not just students with accommodations 

• Common course accessibility issues 

• Easy fixes for documents, videos, and LMS pages 

• Preparations you can take now to ensure your content is accessible for all students from the start of the term 

Following our interactive session, faculty will be provided lunch and dedicated time to work on their fall courses and apply accessibility strategies with support on hand. 

Accessibility doesn’t have to be scary, and it definitely shouldn’t be left to chance. Walk away with practical tips, a usable checklist, and ideas you can apply right away—plus maybe a lucky charm or two 😉
