The keys
KEY 7. Interconnected
"We want to be a community that is centered around universal design and being inclusive of all people regardless of ability. That means that we have to continue to learn about accessibility and disability, and celebrate the many contributions and gifts our disabled students bring to our campus.” -Eduardo Pazos, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs for Inclusion and Diversity
KEY 6. The Project Why
The Project Why is what comes to mind when starting, agreeing or pursuing any project. Sometimes the “Why” is just as important as the project itself. Why did you agree to this project? This question is important because when committing to a project we want to be able to finish what we started, and asking the “Why” questions allows a deeper understanding of the connection to the project, and commitment to the project.
KEY 5. Events Empower
Events have the capacity to bring about change, to create spaces to develop relationships to bring about change, and gather new information to use to bring about change.
KEY 4. Authentic Representation
Authentic Representation is so important. Authentic is key because you can have representation without it being authentic.
KEY 3. Music Moves
Music can be such a powerful tool for activism in the community, leadership through lyrics, and communicating authentic messages.
KEY 2. Design Impact
Who are we designing for? What are we considering when we are designing? So many more questions that come to mind when designing and more importantly inclusive and accessible design.
KEY 1. Stay Connected
