Kate Moss, the new Digital Accessibility Coordinator in the Office of Learning Design, was born and raised in Sanford, North Carolina. Of Sanford she says, “[It] is in the middle of the state about an hour south of Raleigh. Sanford is known as the brick capital of North Carolina for its large textile mill. When our rival high schools would compete in any sport, it was deemed the ‘Brick City Bowl’ of the season.”
Kate went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she completed a double major in Communication and Political Science, with a concentration in rhetoric. “I am fascinated by how people ‘present’ their word choices and how word placement changes meaning. I enjoy details!” Kate has a December graduation date for her Master’s in Educational Leadership degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
We asked Kate what brought her to become interested in Davidson County Community College. “In a previous role, I was able to gain exposure to universal design and assistive technologies. Through this learning process, I wanted to do more to assist students with disabilities. This role here at DCCC allows me to focus mainly on digital accessibility and allows me to be a resource for faculty who may otherwise find the experience daunting…. I am extremely excited to be in the Digital Accessibility Coordinator role at DCCC! I cannot wait to see all the things that we are going to achieve together for the benefit of our students.”
