Event Inclusivity Icons
Icons
The Colorado School of Mines prioritizes inclusivity and accessibility in its programming and strives to provide a welcoming environment for all participants. Mines has developed a set of event inclusivity icons to help attendees understand what to expect at events.
Organizers of campus events should use these icons in print and online marketing materials so that attendees know what to expect. Because these icons are generic, organizers may need to provide more details on an event page. Event materials should also include a statement with contact information for someone who can help arrange accommodations or answer questions about the event.
