Faculty/Staff Detail

Katie Ducett, Foundations and Social Advocacy Department, was a 2024 Faculty Grant Winner of Teach Access, a national non-profit disability advocacy organization dedicated to bridging the digital accessibility skills gap between education and industry. She is one of 25 recipients awarded a $2,000 grant to fund their work to incorporate teaching about accessibility into their existing courses. Grant recipients, in turn, contribute their teaching materials, such as lesson plans, assignments, tests and discussion prompts, to the free and open-access Teach Access Curriculum Repository, multiplying the impact of the grants. Teach Access offers free programs and resources help educators teach and students learn about the fundamentals of disability and accessibility.
