Exploring Universal Design

The University is working to ensure that it is fully accessible to its entire community of faculty, staff, visitors, and students, including people with disabilities. Fordham is committed to providing fully inclusive environments for living, working, and learning across its campuses.

We would like to remind faculty and staff that accessibility is a responsibility for all of us at Fordham. And it is required by federal law. 

Join us for an in-depth workshop on Universal Design, where we’ll explore its seven core principles and how they can be applied to online learning and digital scholarship. Through critical discussion and practical examples, you’ll discover strategies to make your digital content more accessible and inclusive.
