GAAD 2025

Committing to Change

Global Accessibility Awareness Day is a virtual accessibility event on Thursday, May 15, 2025 aimed at engaging in conversation, thinking, and learning about access and inclusion. This year’s event is sponsored by the University of Minnesota and co-sponsored by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the University of Michigan. The year’s theme is “Committing to Change” considering the many ways we, our departments, our colleges and universities, and communities can commit to making the changes needed to be more inclusive. The event was put together by a volunteer group of dedicated University employees.
