        <div class="html-content">
        <p>Do you know a faculty member or academic department that goes above and beyond to make learning more accessible and inclusive for all students? Now is the time to recognize them!</p>
        <p>The UMBC Accessibility Trailblazer Awards celebrate individuals and departments who are pioneers in creating accessible course materials, inclusive content, and teaching practices grounded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL). These trailblazers help ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn and succeed.</p>
        <p>We especially encourage student nominations, but nominations from colleagues are also welcome.</p>
        <ul>
        <li>Deadline to submit nominations: April 30</li>
        <li><a href="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/accessibility/posts/157406/2b2b6/79011334bda4d8b17adc7a275f4b670c/web/link?link=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2F1FdCivvf0fWZPpU6450PJDJY8ZUepVmF819AfsqTn96Q%2Fedit" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Accessibility Trailblazer Award Nomination Form</a></li>
        </ul>
        <p>Awardees will be recognized by the Department of Accessibility &amp; Disability Services (ADS), which houses the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS). They will receive certificates of recognition, be acknowledged by their Deans and senior leadership, and be celebrated with the UMBC student community. Finally, they will also be featured on the ADS bulletin board and highlighted in our quarterly newsletter to recognize their commitment to accessibility and inclusive teaching practices.</p>
        <p>Take a moment to recognize someone who is making a meaningful impact on accessibility at UMBC!</p>
        <p>Questions?
