[ATcoord] Access360 Grant applications due Friday

[Jess Thompson]

Hello,

This is a reminder that applications for this year's Access360 Grant are due on Friday, Aug 31 at 11:55pm (SBCTC staff are available to help until 4:00pm).

Access360 offers a yearlong mentorship opportunity for cross-functional campus teams as they implement accessibility policies on a broad scale to effectively, efficiently and equitably serve students, employees, and community members. Participation in Access 360 will help campuses

*         create (or strengthen) how your cross functional team works collaboratively to ensure successful implementation of accessibility policies and practices on your campus;
*         find time, space, and generative structures so your team can identify achievable goals and a realistic plan;
*         provide scheduled support and accountability as your team moves through its plan to fully realize your campus goals.

  *   All Washington Community and Technical Colleges are invited to apply (including those that participated last year).
  *   The purpose of the Access360 grant is to assist participating colleges with travel costs for attending the two required convenings that are planned to be held at GRCC Kent Station. Colleges that are near the convening location (in King, Pierce, or Snohomish counties) and do not need assistance with travel can apply for up to $5,000 to cover additional expenses. Colleges outside of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties can apply for up to $10,000 to cover travel and additional expenses.
  *   District colleges: You may apply as a district if you would like, with each college participating receiving a grant. If going this route, please ensure that your application responses do not gloss over or omit information that pertains to the unique challenges at the separate colleges (district colleges may overlap/collaborate in some areas of the work, but not others -- this dynamic should be captured in your responses).
  *   Application info is in the email below.
