DEIW 2025 is a week-long series of virtual sessions, workshops, and micro-learning events to raise campus awareness and improve digital access and inclusion for all.

Introducing Our DEIW 2025 Keynote

The keynote speaker, Lainey Feingold, has been a disability rights lawyer with a focus on digital accessibility for thirty years. She’ll bring us up-to-date information about the digital accessibility of higher education legal space. And she’ll shine a much-needed spotlight on what makes the Massachusetts legal environment disability-friendly. Lainey believes digital accessibility is about a lot more than legal compliance. She’ll also share best practices to leverage digital accessibility for campus-wide collaborations and disability inclusion.

This event is free and open to all UMass Amherst students, faculty, and staff.
