Question?

Join us to celebrate being an Adobe Creative Campus + learn more about our favorite creative tools!

Adobe Creative Cloud is a resource that can help students and faculty discover their creativity, and students and faculty at VCU can now access the Creative Cloud and download their licenses for free. You don’t have to be an artist or a graphic designer to use these creative tools. There is no better time to step out of your comfort zone and try out a new program than while you’re here!

During Adobe Week, we'll dive into new Adobe offerings that utilize some of the most exciting trends in an emerging technology: interactive design, on-the-go video storytelling, and more. We will have a variety of workshops and sessions led by VCU faculty, staff, students, and Adobe professionals visiting campus during this special week.
