Transforming the Student Experience at Tulane University
8am PT | 9am MT | 10am CT | 11am ET
Tulane University’s Mike Griffith and Bobbie Garner‑Coffie showcase a first‑year experience model that starts at summer orientation and carries through the Tulane Interdisciplinary Experience Seminar (TIDES) program.
This session is perfect for faculty and staff focused on first‑year success, orientation, teaching, academic technology, and integrating AI into student learning.
Clarification on Adobe Animate availability
You may have recently seen messaging about changes related to Adobe Animate and wanted to clarify what this means for you:
Adobe Animate is not being discontinued, and access is not being removed. Animate will continue to be available for both current and new customers, and customers will continue to have access to their existing content.
Adobe Animate is now in maintenance mode. This means we are no longer adding new features, but we will continue to provide security updates and bug fixes to ensure the product remains stable and reliable.
If you have questions about how this impacts your institution, certification programs, or curriculum planning, please reach out to your Adobe representative.
