## **Session synopsis**

Annie Heckel, Electronic Information Technology Accessibility Manager, highlights how a combination of top-down and bottom-up accessibility advocacy has helped Cornell to progress from an organization with only scattered informal accessibility practices to their current organized but dispersed effort to embed accessibility into all academic and administrative units’ daily work”.\
