Events

This collaborative event—hosted by USM and partner institutions—offers faculty a dedicated chance to “clean up” their spring courses and strengthen accessibility across our campuses. Each participating institution will host its own training opportunities and events, creating space for colleagues to learn together, support one another, and build a cross-campus community committed to inclusive teaching.

All units and groups are welcome to take part in this collective effort to make our digital learning environments more accessible for every student. See the schedule below to register.
