Meet Professor Will Burke, your Online Accessibility Mentor
Hello! My name is Will Burke (he/him/his) and I am serving as the Online Accessibility Mentor at Miramar College for the academic year. I teach English as an adjunct and love engaging students in critical thinking, reading and writing. Prior to teaching I worked with immigrant and refugee farmers by helping them grow and sell produce.
I’ve lived a lot of places and travelled widely. I’m excited to learn with you as we support Miramar students! I will be offering a number of workshops this semester and am available for one-on-one meetings to help create accessible content online.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at wburke@sdccd.edu. I’m available Monday morning from 10-12 for meetings.
