Kudos to Princeton staff who have earned professional certification in accessibility through the International Association of Accessibility Professionals, and to those who have passed Princeton's own IT accessibility testing exam.The University's accessibility certification training programs develop staff awareness and competence in disability and accessibility so that IT and campus resources become increasingly accessible and welcoming to people with disabilities.Staff who earn certification become part of Princeton's community of disability allies, and have regular opportunities to further their professional development and gather for events.

In one way or another, accessibility affects us all. Being able to bring new knowledge to my work at Princeton will help me see the campus, the buildings, the classrooms, the technology, and the social aspect of campus life in a new way. Through the CPACC Certificate program, I’ve gained more in-depth knowledge about accessibility, how it impacts those who may require accessibility, how it can impact all of society and how it can change the world. I hope to be able to bring the new knowledge to my work at Princeton and also outside of Princeton. CPACC Justin Kazlauskas Department of Spanish and Portuguese Departmental Computer Support Specialist Being an A11y and a CPACC means ensuring that the idea of open and effective communication is applied fairly to every possible person(s). Accessibility should not mean tailoring an experience to one group, but making every possible experience available to all groups. CPACC Joseph Keane Office of Research and Project Administration Application Delivery Specialist Accessibility to me means eliminating barriers and providing an all-inclusive environment. Allowing people to contribute to the benefit of society! CPACC Jeffrey Kontio Department of Politics Technical Support Manager I hold a Doctorate in Instructional Technology Leadership, with research focused on how institutions can/do transition from reactive compliance to proactive integration of accessibility across digital and learning environments. Often, we inadvertently create barriers that dissuade or block access to digital, mental, and physical spaces. Through my work, publications, and presentations on Universal Design for Instruction, inclusive instructional technologies, LGBTQ+ inclusion in IT, and institutional accessibility strategies, I strive to enlighten, strengthen, and demonstrate my commitment to embedding accessibility into every project I contribute to. My goal is to ensure that anything shaped by my input reflects the core values of accessibility, affording all individuals the opportunity to participate equally, freely, and with dignity. CPACC Charlie Kreitzberg Office of Information Technology Senior User Experience Advisor CPACC Patti Kuczmarski Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Assistant While working in a role that directly supports hundreds of students and staff, I felt it was important to think outside my own box. This is especially true when it comes to opportunities to support one of the many University diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI). Along these lines, I heard and read about the University sponsored CPACC program. I was excited to be removed from the waitlist for the Summer ‘24 course and invited to join the group instead. Throughout my over 50 hours of individual study, reflection submissions, group meetings, study groups and quiz work I gained such a broad foundational knowledge of disability and accessibility concepts. I plan to utilize this information to help lead, guide and develop a more accessible environment in my workplace and in my private life as well. CPACC
