Digital Accessibility Badging Program
The Digital Accessibility Badging Program teaches you how to create emails, slide decks, documents, and more in an accessible way, without using code.

Accessible Documents
Join the Accessibility Ambassadors for a workshop on how to create accessible documents (including PDFs), with Ben Peck from University Relations.
PDFs, an often-overlooked document type on the web, are garnering increasing scrutiny with the recent update to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This workshop is a great opportunity for you to learn how to create accessible documents.
