Vision
We envision a culture of access in which all electronic, information, and communication resources are seamlessly available to everyone.
Goals
- Promote the value of developing, using, maintaining, and purchasing accessible electronic, information and communication technologies, including Websites, software, and instructional materials.
- Develop training resources and offer training opportunities to campus personnel, including faculty, staff and administrators.
- Partner with Procurement and Contracting Services to enhance the accessibility of all EIT resources purchased by campus personnel and identify effective alternative services when access is not technically possible.
