Planning accessible events

Making your event more accessible and inclusive supports a sense of community. In most cases, modifications for creating accessible events are free or low-cost but require early planning. Planning for accessibility from the beginning improves the chances of creating an event that is enjoyable for all participants.

Digital accessibility

Digital accessibility is fundamental to creating a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As part of our commitment to digital accessibility, USC continues to make the information, programs, and activities on our websites and digital properties accessible to all.
