At the Ross School of Business, Don DuChateau and Sheri Fillip have turned digital accessibility from a box to check into a full-on community movement. As Ross IT’s Digital Accessibility Liaisons, they launched an internal working group, expanded it into a schoolwide network, and built outreach channels for more than 30 website and subsite content managers. They also set up individual site scans across Ross’s multisite environment, guided remediation efforts, and delivered hands-on training and practical resources along the way.
Their leadership guided critical technology decisions, including selecting the accessibility-focused Kadence WordPress ecosystem during the CMS migration, ensuring accessibility was built into the framework from the beginning.
Because of their leadership, the Ross community now has greater awareness, better tools, and a growing culture of accountability in creating accessible, inclusive digital content.
