Two unique training opportunities to help achieve a more inclusive learning and working environment will being offered by the CSU Chancellor’s Office for all faculty and staff.
At Fresno State we are committed to provide and advocate for a more inclusive environment and experience for our students, faculty and staff.
The Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) is the California State University’s (CSU) commitment to make information and communication technology accessible to our campus community and the general public, including those with disabilities. ATI addresses general accessibility on the web, in instructional materials and in the procurement process. (Additional information about ATI may be found on the campus accessibility website.)
As a member of the campus community, if you produce, maintain or edit content that can be obtained through a website or prepare instructional materials, you may be able to help achieve a more inclusive learning and working environment at Fresno State.
Two unique training opportunities are being offered by the Chancellor’s Office and are available to all faculty and staff. Please take a moment to review the sessions below and consider participating in either one or both.
