D2L's Global Accessibility Lead, Sam Chandrashekar, just celebrated her 6 year D2L-iversary! Last year, on her 5 year anniversary, she reflected on her journey with D2L. Check out what Sam has to say on the #LifeAtD2L blog. "D2L has helped me grow professionally and personally...D2L is so driven by values and those values align so well with my own that my work life seems a natural extension of my personal life. An overarching focus on inclusion permeates the company culture...Over my years here, I have discovered that the best way to scale and mature a company’s accessibility practice is to allow it to percolate deep through enablement, empowerment, and trust. Whatever be their domain, D2Lers are aware of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility, and what that means to their work. This sets us apart as a company that offers not just educational technology but educational experiences that touch and transform lives." Congrats, Sam!
