Adobe Creative Campus
5XÉçÇø has been designated as an Adobe Creative Campus! As one of only 90 institutions worldwide and one of only three Universities in Ohio to earn the Adobe Creative Campus designation, this title is an important distinction for Kent State. To earn the Creative Campus partnership with Adobe, a university must complete extensive evaluations and processes to display a commitment to digital literacy.
All KSU Students have free access to the Adobe Express Pro suite of tools! Starting in the fall '24 semester, students also have access to free tutoring at the Kent State Adobe Creative Commons located in the Student Multimedia Studio, inside the Kent Campus Library.
KSU Adobe Creative Commons
GRAND OPENING AUGUST 29, 2024!
The KSU Adobe Creative Commons is located on the first floor of the Library inside the Student Multimedia Studio.
Kent State Adobe Day: The Adobe Creative Commons opened on August 29 and included an entire day of Webinars from Eric Rowse, Senior Solutions Consultant at Adobe. Before joining Adobe in 2012, Rowse was a Creative Suite instructor, adjunct professor, art director, animator and pre-web CD-ROM era designer. Rowse says he is a firm believer that passion and vision — when paired with the correct tools — can produce outstanding digital stories the world can enjoy.
