Are you interested in learning how to make laboratory science courses more accessible? We invite you to join us for the Creatively Learning Accessible Science Symposium (CLASS), a day-long hybrid event on November 1st from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This symposium will feature insights from experts in accessibility, including d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing scientists, blind scientists, neurodiversity, mobility disorders, and service dog accommodations in the lab. You’ll gain valuable tips and tools to enhance accessibility in your classroom or lab. After the expert panel, attendees will have the chance to work collaboratively in groups to address real access challenges in their courses.
