CSUMB Presidential Transition

As of August, 2008, upon completion of the CSUMB plan for instructional materials accessibility, the CSUMB Instructional Materials Accessibility Planning (IMAP) group was transformed to the role of an Advisory Group (IMAG). With time and resources impacted by increased workload and furloughs in 2009-10, the IMAG role is being served by the Academic Senate Technology Committee and members of the EnACT Grant (Enabling Access through Collaboration and Technology).

The IMAG group is expected to be reconstituted starting Fall, 2010.
