May 21st is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. To celebrate, we invite site owners to our first Accessibility Challenge: Make one (or more!) accessibility improvements to your website daily between May 5th and May 21st. This Lunch and Learn on May 5th will kick off the event with a refresh on the nuts-and-bolts of accessibility for the web. We will follow up through the next couple of weeks with more tips for shoring up the accessibility of your sites. Join the Zoom meeting using the link https://yale.zoom.us/my/sarah.lynch.
