Indian River State College has furthered
its commitment to advancing digital literacy
skills by becoming the first community
college in the nation to comprehensively
offer Adobe Creative Cloud applications,
without cost, to students, faculty and staff
on IRSC campuses.
As of August, students in all disciplines
can access Adobe Creative Cloud, providing
new opportunities to transform
their classroom learning, creatively build
personal brands and gain an edge in the
modern, competitive workplace. The college
is among a select group of colleges
and universities working with Adobe to
shape the future of digital literacy within
global higher education.
“Students at Indian River State College
now have the opportunity to become fully
trained on one of the most-used creative
platforms in the world while they are still
in college,” IRSC President Dr. Timothy
Moore states. “When an IRSC student
completes their studies, they will leave
IRSC PHOTOS
the college with an unmatched education
coupled with ready-for-workforce digital
literacy skills, little or no debt, and a personal
brand conveyed through compelling
storytelling — with words, imagery, sound
and movement.”
Indian River State College serves a diverse
population of approximately 26,000
students each year. Students come from
both urban and rural areas, more than onethird
are the first in their families to attend
college and 42% are Pell Grant recipients.
IRSC is deeply committed to enhancing
and growing wrap-around services that are
essential for student success. As an Adobe
Creative Campus, IRSC can provide all
students, regardless of background, with
cutting-edge creative tools that enrich their
educational experience and give them a
competitive workforce advantage.
