Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS), and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion invite you to take part in the newly revamped BUILD mentoring program by becoming a mentor to a student registered through the ACCESS office.
BUILD stands for Bridging Universal Inclusion & Leadership Development, and we are actively seeking qualified SIUE faculty and staff to help make BUILD more than a name and more of a tangible result afforded to our students!
By participating in BUILD, you can help students needing accommodations, due to diagnosis or disability, solidify goals and gain confidence in their academic aptitude, as well as provide additional motivation to continue their path to career success. BUILD is a flexible program, working within the confines of your schedule and time constraints to allow you the freedom to set up monthly meetings between you and your mentee at a time of mutual convenience.
Faculty and staff participants will undergo a dynamic mentor training session prior to the start of the fall semester jointly facilitated by ACCESS, and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion. Please complete the online Mentor Application Form by Friday, Aug. 3. Once we receive your application, we will do everything we can to match you with a student who has an interest in your career field.

Register for Accessibility Training with Blackboard Ally |
|
| |
The offices of Educational Outreach, ACCESS, and Information Technology Services are collaborating to bring Blackboard Ally to your Blackboard courses this fall.
Blackboard Ally is a product that provides students with alternate formats for uploaded PDF, Word, PowerPoint and HTML content. For example, it can convert a text document to an audio file. It also assists faculty in making content more accessible by pointing out where formatting can be improved or providing alternative file types.
By now, you may have noticed new indicator icons in your courses that will show how your content measures up to web accessibility standards. If you click on these icons, Blackboard Ally will guide you through steps for improving content. Although it might seem overwhelming at first, starting with low-effort tasks like adding alternative text to images is a good way to begin tackling the larger goal of creating accessible course content. Since accessibility is a key factor in student success, we hope that faculty devote the time to design courses with all students in mind.
Please take the time to review this overview of the Blackboard Ally tool and how it will function in your course. You can also refer to this quick start guide.
If you would like additional training, please register for one of the training sessions, or contact us at idlt_center@siue.edu.
