Adobe Creative Campus Welcome Week Tour
Between 16 September and 1 October, we had the pleasure of visiting 25 UK Adobe Creative Campus institutions, making students aware of their Adobe Creative Campus benefits and encouraging account activations/logins.
Staff and students from each institution welcomed us with incredible energy and enthusiasm! And we would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the IT administrators who played a large role in the success of these events by ensuring that all students were assigned their Adobe licenses prior to our arrival. Thank you all for your cooperation and ongoing efforts to support your institution’s Adobe Creative Campus goals!
