Webinar: Cultivating an Equitable, AI-ready Campus — 1 July, 2026
As higher education enters a new era shaped by creativity, productivity, and responsible AI, institutional leaders must ensure that their campuses are equipped to support learners, educators, and staff in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Register for our on-demand Adobe Generation GEN AI Series to hear our speakers share peer perspectives, leadership strategies, and practical frameworks designed to strengthen institutional impact, accelerate digital transformation, and position your campus for sustained success in the age of AI.
Help students take their creative work with them.
It's easy for graduating students to copy their Adobe files from school- assigned accounts to new or existing Adobe personal accounts. With the Student File Transfer feature, they'll get ongoing access to their work so they can showcase it to future employers. Learn more and use our email templates to inform students of this great benefit.
AI is changing how creatives work — here's what the data says.
A new Adobe study reveals something educators and students in creative disciplines will want to hear: Far from replacing creative professionals, AI is helping them do more of what they love.
The research found that creatives who use AI tools are better able to keep pace with the growing demand for content, they’re spending less time on repetitive tasks, and — crucially — they’re reporting that the quality of their work has actually improved. Rather than feeling threatened, many say AI has given them more space for the thinking and making that drew them to creative careers in the first place.
For those teaching the next generation of designers, filmmakers, and marketers, this offers a compelling case for embedding AI literacy into curricula. Students who graduate feeling comfortable working with AI tools will be more employable and better equipped to thrive in an industry that's rapidly evolving.
