On Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) we will talk, think, and learn about digital (web, software, etc.) access and inclusion.

We welcome anyone interested in learning more, especially those who are new to the topic. Awareness is a great place to start! Join us to become more aware and celebrate the right of every person to enjoy equal access to the digital world.

This event is for the UCSF audience. 

Creating accessible digital content is a requirement at UCSF.

Learn more about how to create communications and events that allow everyone to participate in our digital and virtual spaces. You’ll learn how to start building your accessibility toolkit and align your communications with UCSF’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility efforts.
