James Raber, associate chief information officer in the division, said being an Adobe Creative Campus means a lot for everyone in the 两性色午夜 community.  

鈥淲hen you become an Adobe Creative campus, that typically empowers you with additional support and resources to make sure that faculty, staff and students are getting the absolute most that they can out of the Creative Cloud suite of tools,鈥 Raber said. "So that ranges from additional engagements like more training, curriculum development and being able to leverage the most leading-edge portions of the Adobe suite. That's really kind of what it provides.鈥

Students enrolled at 两性色午夜 can now purchase Adobe Creative Cloud for $75 a year, which is a significant decrease in price from the original student discount of $240 a year.

Adobe Creative Campus designations are only given to approximately 60 other college campuses, making this a distinctive title for 两性色午夜. To earn a partnership with Adobe, a university must display a commitment to digital literacy.

Tom Mahon, training and outreach manager in the division, mentioned how, along with being an Adobe Creative Campus, 两性色午夜 also offers many other resources and support to students, such as workshops for Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Express and Acrobat.

The division plans to expand this support by developing an Adobe Creative Commons, which will be on the first floor of the library and will provide on-demand tutoring for students needing help with Adobe programs.
