Appointments
When creating a new appointment or appointment block, the platform now recalls your previous selections and will persist those selections the next time you create an appointment/block! For example, creating an appointment block with "12twenty Video" set as the location will ensure the next block you create already has 12twenty Video auto-selected.

12twenty Network Jobs
Job postings added by the 12twenty Job Network Feed are now actively monitored, and job postings that are no longer available will be automatically closed by the system! To increase the reliability of these job postings, and reduce the need for periodic manual review, network feed job postings that were previously approved will now be automatically closed if the system detects that the job is no longer available.
If a network feed job posting becomes unavailable while it is still in pending approval status, the job posting will be deleted along with (if applicable) the related pending employer.

Events
Admins are now able to set a custom event logo for any event!

To use a unique logo for an event, edit the event and navigate to the Admin section to utilize the new Override Event Logo feature.
Mentorships
The New Mentorship Request Notification, sent to users when a student requests them as a mentor, now includes quick action links! Mentors are able to Accept or Decline mentorship requests directly from the email notification. Alternatively, users are also able to temporarily snooze mentorship requests for 30, 60, or 90 days. Quick action links do not require the user to log in -- selecting Accept, Decline, or Snooze will take users directly to a confirmation page!
Mentorships
The reply-to recipient of the Mentorship Request Accepted (to Mentor) notification, sent to mentors when they accept a pending mentorship request, has been set to the mentee! This allows mentors to easily connect with their new mentees by replying directly to the confirmation email.
Mentorships
A new filter has been added to help admins effectively manage their pool of available mentors: Is Available as Mentor! When filtered for Is Available as Mentor = Yes, only users that are currently available to be requested as a mentor are returned.
Available mentors are defined as users that are: actively opted-in to be a mentor, included in the Student & Alumni Directory, not currently snoozed, and have not reached their max mentee limit per site settings.

Accessibility Improvements and Issues Addressed
Alternative Text and Non-Visual Elements
•Provided meaningful alt text for all logos to enhance accessibility for non-visual users, ensuring logos convey purpose and context rather than generic terms like “logo.”
•Updated alt text for images in job posts, events, and announcements to describe specific content rather than using generic alt text, enhancing context for screen reader users.
•Provided text alternatives for action icons and hid decorative icons from assistive technologies, improving the meaningfulness of content announced to screen reader users.
•Data visualizations need non-visual equivalents; best practice is to use high-contrast colors and alternative representations.
Interactive Elements and Navigation
•Replaced non-interactive elements with native interactive elements like <button> and <a> to improve compatibility with assistive technologies and keyboard navigation.
•Differentiated buttons and links according to their functions—using buttons for actions and links for navigation—to prevent confusion for assistive technology users.
•Simplified and standardized navigation design by limiting elements to links and expandable menus, ensuring proper accessibility attributes are in place to reduce user confusion.
•Tabs on Application Materials and Job Details pages need role="tab" and proper contextual labeling to improve accessibility.
•Reworked navigation to make all elements comparable for better accessibility.
Forms and Input Fields
•Structured radio button and checkbox groups using <fieldset> and <legend> tags to correctly associate options with their related questions for screen reader users.
•File uploads need better contrast and focus states on input style, as well as improved hierarchy for accessibility.
•Implemented a consistent global focus ring style across all interactive elements to ensure visibility of focus indicators in all browsers, aiding keyboard-only users.
General Accessibility Fixes
•Repeated links or buttons on the same page must be distinct and describe the specific action they perform.
•Removed empty <ul> elements from sitewide navigation to prevent confusion for assistive technology users encountering unnecessary structured content.
•Copy icons are nested links, which should be corrected for proper functionality.
•Added unique labels to repeated buttons and links like “Add Cover Letter” or “Add Transcript” to help assistive technology users distinguish between similar actions.
