<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">As you may or may not know, 9 of the colleges are participating in Access360. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Access360 offers a yearlong mentorship opportunity for cross-functional campus teams as they implement accessibility
policies on a broad scale. P</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">articipating colleges serve as case-studies for SBCTC staff to learn what areas are in need of greater support from the State Board.

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We have about 10 extra seats open for our Spring Convening if any groups from non-participating schools would like to attend. This is a great chance to learn about what other colleges are doing to implement policies around
accessible technology. We recommend attending with at least one other person from your campus accessibility workgroup in order to make the best use of workgroup time. This would also be a good event for those interested in participating in Access360 in the
future. </p>
