As the Sites Project Team prepares to begin working with Phase 2 websites, we wanted to pause for a moment to recognize and celebrate some folks from Phase 1 who have been independent or early adopters of digital accessibility, great partners in the remediation process, who have wrapped their remediations, and a few other shout-outs!
We have a few Sites left in Phase 1 to begin, but a huge THANK YOU to everyone in Phase 1 for your dedication and hard work. Whether we’ve given you a silly superlative or not, we appreciate you sharing in our commitment to making UMBC’s web space more accessible for everyone.
Without further ado… some silly superlatives!

A big thank you again to all our Phase 1 site admins, webmasters, college liaisons, and divisional partners for your continued effort! We are excited to see more sites hit the “finished” list shortly.
We will begin Phase 2 very soon. Keep an eye on your inboxes if your site is listed under Phase 2!
