In March 2024, 5X社区 announced that Adobe approved Kent State as an Adobe Creative Campus. As one of only 90 institutions worldwide and one of only three 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. As part of Kent State鈥檚 commitment to digital literacy students, faculty and staff have free access to the Adobe Express suite of tools, available at .
Kent State is expanding the impact of the Adobe Creative Campus designation by opening a physical space, the Kent State Adobe Creative Commons, in partnership with the Student Multimedia Studio on the first floor of the Library. The Creative Commons will serve as a space where Kent State students, faculty and staff can learn more about Adobe software and have their questions answered by a Kent State Student who has been accepted into the Adobe Student Ambassador program.
To celebrate the opening of the Kent State Adobe Creative Commons, the Kent State Division of Information Technology, in partnership with Kent State Libraries, is holding an Adobe Day on Thursday, Aug. 29, 2024. The Kent State community is invited to the ribbon cutting for the Commons, which will be held at 10 a.m. on Aug. 29, with light refreshments. Adobe Day will feature Webinars from Adobe鈥檚 Eric Rouse on AI and Adobe Express. Please join us for Adobe SWAG giveaways, tours of the Creative Commons and Student Multimedia Studio.
