We know what you may be thinking, but the STARS (Student-workers for Technology and Accessible Resource Services) Team under Student Accessibility Service do belong on Earth! The SAS STARS Team is a group of highly-trained undergraduate and graduate student workers who strive for the highest standards of equitable access to assistive technology and digital accessibility for students with accommodations. The STARS Team is led by Jordan Colbert, the Associate Director for Assistive Technology at SAS.
Accessibility Assistants
Accessibility Assistants (AA) are both undergraduate and graduate students that work to create accessible course materials for lecture and seminar courses. Led by the Graduate Accessibility Assistant, AAs receive course PowerPoints, Word docs, and PDFs from Canvas courses and make them accessible for individuals that use text-to-speech and screen reading technologies. AAs also work with creating electronically accessible mathematic content.
