Faculty: spring course support this week
The USM and partner institutions are offering faculty a dedicated chance to “clean up” their spring courses and strengthen accessibility. Each participating institution will host its own training opportunities and events, creating space for colleagues to learn together, support one another, and build a cross-campus community committed to inclusive teaching.
All units and groups are welcome to take part in this collective effort to make our digital learning environments more accessible for every student. See the schedule below to register.
