Accessibility

Presentations need to be formatted to offer accessibility for audience members with hearing or vision impairments. We will have ASL interpreters on the presenter platforms. Video type media needs to be captioned. Projection images (ex: PowerPoints) need to be prepared so they pass the accessibility checker provided by the PPT app. Please see our presentation resources section to learn more about other things to keep in mind as you prepare your presentation. DON’T let this stop you from applying—we are here to guide you through this process.
