    <p>The University System of Maryland (USM) has launched its Digital Accessibility Communities of Practice in STEM and Music &amp; Arts, bringing faculty together to identify challenges, share innovative practices, and develop practical solutions that make teaching and learning more accessible. They're looking for feedback from STEM and Music &amp; Arts faculty.</p>

    </ul>
    <p>Your feedback will directly inform the resources, tools, strategies, and guidance developed by these Communities of Practice throughout the 2026–2027 academic year.</p>
