  <Title>A Commitment to Inclusion: UMBC&#8217;s Digital Accessibility Initiative</Title>
  <Tagline>Addressing new federal digital accessibility requirements</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Dear UMBC Community,</p><p>As we continue to rely on digital platforms for teaching, learning, and administrative functions, digital accessibility has been a core component of that commitment. UMBC has been dedicated to making our information technology and digital content accessible so that everyone has the opportunity to make use of the university's knowledge, ideas, and resources.</p><p>We are updating and expanding our digital accessibility initiatives to meet new federal requirements. On April 24, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) finalized a new rule under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), defining clear technical standards for digital accessibility to follow Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A (minimum) and Level AA (enhanced) for images, sound, video, documents, and text. As content for courses, research, and the public is constantly created, this will be an ongoing effort requiring everyone to do their part for the benefit of others.</p><p>To support this ongoing effort, UMBC has launched the <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements/posts/154649/2b2b6/5a5cc9a29f16a40df9f6f28b13845a04/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Faccessibility.umbc.edu%2Fdigital-accessibility%2Fgovernance%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Digital Accessibility Steering Committee</a> (DASC) led by vice presidents Tanyka Barber and Jack Suess. This group is charged with developing, tracking, and evolving our compliance efforts by focusing our resources on the efforts that can achieve the greatest impact.</p><p>The DASC has started meeting and will begin reaching out to campus departments and constituencies to communicate and seek feedback on our plans and efforts that are underway. This work affirms our university's deep and ongoing commitment to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community for all our members. Together, we can use this effort to create a more accessible digital environment that truly works for all members of our community.</p><p>Additional digital accessibility information and resources are available on both the <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements/posts/154649/2b2b6/68b0c8b21c87eb86d85e53605ce84b2d/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Faccessibility.umbc.edu%2Fdigital-accessibility%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Digital Accessibility website</a> and the <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/announcements/posts/154649/2b2b6/7d01f359c0eb33de5a49bb8e14251568/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usmd.edu%2Fdigital-accessibility%2F" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">USM Digital Accessibility website</a>.</p><p>Sincerely,</p><p>Manfred H.

  <Title>Tori Jakpa Shares Research at National AHEAD in Denver</Title>
  <Tagline>Overmedicalization, Social Media and Gen Z</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div>This past week ADS's own Toritsegbogwa (Tori) Jakpa , SDS Assistive Technology  &amp; Accessibility Specialist, presented at the national Association for Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) conference in Denver on her research, <strong>"Overmedicalization in the Age of Social Media: Gen Z's Struggle with Self-Diagnosis,"</strong> which she conducted with her research partner from Purdue University, Monaami Pal.</div><div><br></div><div>Her poster presentation in summary: Research studies have shown that there is a close relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and the American Psychiatric Association, leading to a tendency amongst mental health professionals to interpret everyday emotional suffering to be a medical condition which needs treatment. This is also fueled by the social media culture and the rise of influencers in the health and well-being industry. Our goal is to investigate how self diagnosis affects Generation Z. This issue of overmedicalization and self diagnosis is amplified by socioeconomic factors such as limited access to mental health services, geographic disparities in availability of healthcare, stigma associated with seeking medical help, and insurance affordability. Finally, we will apply crip theory and mad studies as frameworks to develop more effective and inclusive strategies to aid Gen Z’s mental health needs in higher educational systems.</div><div><br></div><div>When Tori is on campus, she works with undergraduate and graduate students registered with Student Disability Services, creating solutions with accessible technology.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><strong>See original post here:</strong> <a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/accessibility/posts/151146" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/accessibility/posts/151146</a></div></div>

  <ThumbnailAltText>A smiling  woman with long, braided hair stands to the left of a large, scientific poster board. The poster is titled "Overmedicalization in the Age of Social Media: GenZ's Struggle with Self-Diagnosis." The poster has sections including "Background," "Bad Studies and Crip Theory," "Recommendations for Higher Education," and "Conclusion." The woman is wearing a light blue, collared shirt and dark pants. A conference lanyard with a nametag hangs around her neck, and a sunflower pin is attached to the lanyard. She is looking directly at the camera. In front of the poster board on a covered table, there is a small cup of water, a yellow sticky note, and some other small objects. The poster board itself is on an easel. The background appears to be a conference hall with beige walls and a lamp on the far left side of the image.</ThumbnailAltText>
