Introductions and Update Overview
Greetings from the Equity and Inclusion Office (EIO) and McMaster Accessibility Advisory Council (MAAC)

What is the Update?

To celebrate National Accessibility Week, the AccessMac Program in the Equity and Inclusion Office and the McMaster Accessibility Council are proud to present the Accessibility and Disability Inclusion Update (ADIU) 2022-2023!

In its 6th year, the ADIU continued to reach out to the McMaster community to celebrate the incredible accessibility and disability inclusion work that continues to enhance the lives of not only McMaster students, staff, and faculty, but our local and national communities. With 56 submissions from faculties, services, and individuals, this community publication continues to thrive because of your efforts and continued commitment to creating and holding space for all to access, learn and meaningfully contribute across campus and in the communities beyond the University.

As always, we are grateful to the amazing contributors, and those who continue to do the important work in advancing accessibility and disability inclusion in their respective fields and we sincerely look forward to celebrating and elevating the exciting updates on projects and news of initiatives to come in future editions!
