Knowledge & Advocacy
At the University of Denver, we believe that diversity enriches the lives of everyone on campus and creates a more inclusive community for all. As a part of diversity and inclusiveness efforts, there are several ways for you to advocate for a culture of accessibility at DU.
The Knowledge Base will provide you with valuable information from this website, campus resources or other accessibility-focused entities. We want you to become familiar with this information and challenge yourself to help make a more accessible and accommodating campus for everyone.
Advocacy
Accept and Adopt
If accessibility is new to you, start small! And then keep practicing what you learn. You can gather valuable information from this website, campus resources or other accessibility-focused entities.
Build and Encourage Community Awareness
Learn more about accessibility principles and organize trainings for your colleagues. When you find something especially helpful in accessibility or providing accommodations, share this with others.
Know Laws and Policies
There are certain rules and regulations DU must adhere to for accessibility. Become familiar with these and challenge yourself to help make a more accessible and accommodating campus for everyone.
Practice
Make accessibility part of your workflow. For example, run any PDFs you plan to share through text-recognition software so that students using assistive technologies can still access the information.
