Clark College computer technology instructor Bruce Elgort received grants to add accessibility principles into his computer science curriculum.
Elgort received $5,000 between national organizations Teach Access and the Partnership on Employment and Accessible Technology, and a matching $5,000 from the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges. He will use the money to expand teaching universal design principles — design meant to improve accessibility for people with disabilities — in his class.
Elgort was one of 13 faculty members across the nation to receive the grant and the only community college instructor in the group.
