Don’t Fret—The Carnival Will Return!

If you missed out on the challenge, or if you’re ready to spin the wheel again, good news! We will be running the Sherry Fest Accessibility Challenge again during the Spring semester. Keep an eye out for your invitation to participate again soon!

Remember, the purpose of this challenge is critical: it helps ensure all of your course content is ADA compliant well ahead of the updates to Title II of the ADA that officially go into effect in April of 2026. By participating now, you are making sure all of our students can equally access the resources they need.

Thank you again for making this challenge a smashing success!
