WSU Tech has been recognized with the prestigious 2024 @AnthologyInc Catalyst Award for Leading Change! This award celebrates our commitment to educational innovation and our efforts in implementing transformational initiatives that generate measurable results on our campus and within our academic ecosystem. Our Accessibility department, in collaboration with International Anthology Ally User Group Leaders Kristen McCartney-Bulmer, Krystal Iseminger, Lara Tompkins, and Matthew Deeprose, has played a crucial role in championing active collaboration, cooperation, and sharing best practices. This global community has been instrumental in leveraging Anthology® Ally's solutions to promote accessibility and inclusivity in higher education, fostering professional growth and impact across institutions. Krystal Iseminger, Director of Accessibility at WSU Tech, summarizes the impact: "The International Ally User Group provides access to the wealth of resources and lived experiences from the global Ally and accessibility community. This gives Ally users a knowledge-base and network to support their accessibility initiatives and that improves the student learning experience."
