🏁 Dress Code: Casual & Comfy

The host of the GLACURH Regional Conference Fall 2025 is committed to ensuring an inclusive and welcoming environment for all delegates. This accessibility plan has been developed to serve as a framework and accountability tool, ensuring that the university provides equitable access to facilities, resources, and programming throughout the conference. Its purpose is to identify potential barriers, outline proactive measures, and uphold the values of inclusivity and belonging for every attendee. 

The Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) and Indiana University Bloomington are committed to providing inclusive facilities and services that ensure all delegates at the GLACURH Regional Conference Fall 2025 can participate fully. The following outlines accessibility considerations for various disabilities: 

Vision: 
The IMU provides accessible entrances and signage, and accessible routes throughout the building. Assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, and alternate formats like large print, Braille, or audio materials are available through Accessible Educational Services (AES). University guidelines also ensure that digital content, including presentations and event slides, are accessible with features like alt text and high-contrast designs. 

Hearing: 
Assistive listening devices are available in several venues, and presentations and videos are captioned or provided with transcripts. Interpreters can also be arranged if requested ahead of time. These measures ensure delegates who are hard of hearing or deaf can fully participate in conference sessions. 

Deaf-Blind: 
Support for delegates who are deaf-blind may include tactile communication strategies, refresh Braille displays, and interpreters. The IMU’s accessible routes and elevators further ensure that delegates can move safely through the building. 

Mobility and Motor Disabilities: 
The IMU has multiple accessible entrances and parking spaces, with elevators throughout the building to access all floors, including the Biddle Hotel and meeting rooms. Furniture can be adjusted or adapted as needed, and transportation support such as accessible van services can be arranged for those requiring mobility assistance across campus. 

IU is primarily a walking campus. However, we have an extensive public bus system, and the longest walk will be 20 minutes.  

Cognitive and Psychological Disabilities: 
AES provides accommodations such as reduced-distraction spaces, note-taking support, and flexible communication of event materials. The IMU also offers quiet or sensory-reduced spaces for delegates who may need breaks. Staff are trained to support students and visitors with learning differences, ADHD, anxiety, or other psychological needs. 

Seizure Disorders: 
Conference organizers will avoid the use of flashing or strobe lights in venues. Visual content is designed to prevent rapid flickering patterns that could trigger seizures. Staff and volunteers are trained to respond appropriately in the event of a seizure, ensuring safety and quick assistance. 

Speech Disabilities: 
Delegates with speech disabilities are encouraged to use alternative methods of communication, such as written materials or assistive communication devices. Staff and volunteers are trained to be patient, respectful, and to allow extra time for communication. Quiet spaces are also available for one-on-one conversations. 

Prayer and Reflection Space: 
The IMU also provides a designated prayer and reflection room to support delegates of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. This quiet and private space ensures attendees have the opportunity to practice their faith, meditate, or take time for personal reflection during the conference. 

Quiet Space: 

Quiet spaces will be provided during entertainment sessions. More details will be provided during the conference.  

Additional Supports: 
Delegates can work with Accessible Educational Services (AES) to request accommodations in advance of the conference. Indiana University’s ADA policy ensures reasonable accommodations are made. Service animals are permitted throughout the IMU, and assistive technologies are available to support reading, hearing, and speech needs. 

The Conference team will have access to two (2) university owned Chevy Suburban for each day of the conference. The Suburban's seat 8–9 people and will be in circulation to meet the needs of any specific accommodations.
