The 2010 Census Bureau reports (Links to an external site.) that 57 million people (or approximately 19% of the population) live with a disability.

Whether you are a staff member or a faculty member at Pierce, at some point you will likely be interacting with a student (or another employee) that has a disability. We all have an obligation to provide access and services to all students.

Pierce is committed to equity, inclusion, and accessibility and your participation in this introductory course about making accessible materials and documents is part of a process of awareness of things we all can do, no matter what our role is, to include everyone in the work we do at Pierce College.
