Student using phone and laptop in open seating areaDigital Equity Act funding is now available to the state of North Carolina, and they are preparing to award grants totaling 1.25 million each year for four years. As the nation and the state of North Carolina embrace the need for digital equity, there are two opportunities for students and employees at Central Piedmont to support this movement.

  • The first opportunity is on May 13th., ‘National Digital Inclusion Day’ (NDID) The purpose of NDID is to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital equity and inclusion.

  • The second opportunity is ‘Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), held on May 19th. GAAD aims to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments.

Jessica Rosenworcel, FCC Commissioner, says, ”To have a fair shot at 21st-century success, you need access to modern communications and the internet.”

To begin the celebration and learn more about these two essential events, visit the LibGuide on National Digital Inclusion Day and Global Accessibility Awareness Day.
