We talk a lot about accessibility and inclusion in higher ed, but often the focus is on traditional students and in-person learning. What actions are we taking to make online learning spaces a place where adult students feel safe to share and learn? Joshua David Murphy Esqueda is a recent graduate of the College of Professional Studies (formerly University College) Communication Management program and  identifies as LBGTQIAS2+. We discuss how their experience in the program highlighted ways online courses can allow for better representation and inclusion. Joshua and I also discuss modifications that can be made to online course delivery and the impacts of those modifications would have on all students - not just those from underrepresented identities.
