📣 May is Accessibility Month at @iDesignEDU

Digital accessibility isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Throughout May, iDesign will be spotlighting the importance of accessibility in #highereducation. We'll share insights, tools, and examples to help universities prepare for the April 2026 WCAG 2.1 compliance deadline and build more inclusive learning environments.

We’ll explore:
✔️ What WCAG 2.1 AA means for your institution
✔️ How to apply accessibility standards to your brand and content
✔️ Why inclusive design supports student success
✔️ How iDesign can support your roadmap

Launching soon! Be on the lookout for our free GPT—Digital Accessibility Guide by iDesign—designed to help you generate your roadmap or assess your institution’s current accessibility status. Stay tuned!

@berrycollege I can’t believe how inconsiderate the administration is to their faculty, their graduates, and the families. We will encourage our son to really think before making any future donations as alumni.

Read their parent Facebook group before sending your child here.

[MaryHelen Culbertson @MHCulbertson]

@berrycollege We just spoke with our son & he is going to finish packing up & we are leaving. We drove from Dallas to be here for this. Thankfully we drove. I can’t imagine the frustration of those who flew here only to have graduation delayed by an hour risking missing flights.

"First-generation #learners were especially positive about the shift [to #onlineprograms]. More than three-quarters of these #students, 76%, indicated they would be interested in taking #onlinecourses in the future, nearly ten percentage points higher than their peers with college-educated parents."

@Pulsipher_WGU (President @wgu) piece for @HigherEdDive detailing the dichotomy between the demand of first generation learners enrolling in online programs and, "Relative to their peers, first-generation students are less likely to reach graduation. This signals that institutions are failing to meet the needs of a more diverse student body."

@SlackHQ You may feel that hiding the attachments and lightning bolt icons under the + icon improves the UX but as a user, I find it frustrating.
