Accessibility and belonging are essential components in gaining holistic perspectives, but too often they are omitted from the conversation. This session explores how implementing universal design and access leads to developing a profound sense of belonging for all individuals. This presentation dives into the dynamics of universal design principles, sharing ways to intentionally create environments that foster a sense of belonging for all individuals, including all of their identities. In this insightful presentation, attendees will gain the knowledge to eliminate barriers and create environments for all people to feel valued. Join this presentation to learn ways to establish a sense of belonging by intentionally designing cultures that prioritize accessibility, leading to increased retention, problem-solving, and overall well-being.This workshop will take place in Ag North, N24B1.
