Accessibility is an essential component of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as it ensures that all students have equal access to educational opportunities. Unfortunately, many efforts to increase inclusivity often overlook the needs of students with disabilities, leading to marginalization and exclusion. This is a significant issue, as millions of students with disabilities attend schools and universities across the country. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize the intersectionality of disability and other identities in order to create a truly equitable and inclusive environment.  

By framing the conversation around accessibility using a social justice lens, we can promote an accessibility-conscious campus culture that benefits all students, regardless of their individual needs. We invite you to join the ASCCC Online Education Committee’s last accessibility webinar of the 2022-2023 academic year featuring Dr. Daminna Standfield and Lauren Miller from the CCC Accessibility Center, as well as support from the CVC/@ONE, to explore ways that local colleges can integrate accessibility into the broader conversations and efforts around diversity, equity, and inclusion in the online learning environment.
