Join Dr. Jonathan Pierce, Assistant Director of International Recruitment, for an informative session on how to support and accommodate autistic students in your classroom. Autistic and other neurodivergent students often face challenging obstacles in life, including in their academic pursuits.

In case you missed it, last week the Office of Digital Accessibility (ODA) and COLRS shared an accessibility tip on Color contrast in files and Canvas content.
