In my time at Tarleton, and in both of my roles, I have often leaned on Karole to ensure accessibility standards and guidelines were upheld and that policies were communicated effectively. Karole has a true passion for helping those with disabilities experience the web and all digital resources just as those without disabilities are able to. Because of her passion, she was more than a resource or enforcer, but an advocate. In any instance, she thoroughly and respectfully communicated not only the policies and risks, but also the value we were adding to the user experience. Her accessibility website is a favorite bookmark of mine, and a site I frequent often when in doubt. She has used her background in design and development to build stopgaps into our CMS to ensure accessible content for all users. In her time as EIR Coordinator, Karole reviewed vendors and products for accessibility and always worked to ensure that any resource the university had to offer would not discriminate against those with disabilities. Karole’s work toward a more accessible world goes far beyond her employment. She actively seeks opportunities to engage with communities of disabled individuals and works to provide them with opportunities to experience activities through adaptation. Her passion for equality, her empathy for those with special needs or physical disabilities, and her understanding of the technical processes and platforms needed to offer an accessible digital experience makes her a true value to our team.
