Accessibility is everyone’s responsibility
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 16% of the world is living with a disability, which equates to over 1 billion people. It is also projected that 1 in every 3 people will experience either a permanent or temporary disability in the next 10 years. Accessibility can’t just be a job for the few to work on; it’s an important part of UC’s equity and inclusion core values. Let’s celebrate this mission as one UC community. Come and pick up the accessibility puzzle pieces you might be missing. Together, we can help create a better world for all!
Register in advance for this webinar.
