“Everywhere we look
— whether it’s entertainment,
education or
enterprise — creativity
and content are fueling
the global economy,” said
Mala Sharma, vice president
and general manager
of Creative Cloud Product
Marketing and Community
at Adobe.
“Regardless of the
career someone may
choose, digital literacy and
creative storytelling will
continue to not only be
necessary but expected.
“This is why creative
skills are of immense
importance for the future
workforce. As the students at Indian River State College have
access to Adobe programs and are taught essential creativity
and digital literacy skills, doors will open to a brighter future and
prepare them to thrive in a changing world.”
The Adobe Creative Campus supports the transformation of
learning and assessment. Faculty can use the tools to help teach
creative and persuasive digital communication skills throughout
their curricula. IRSC faculty developers are integrating Creative
Cloud tools into academic lesson plans and assignments to
encourage students to find new ways to present ideas, scholarship
and research. IRSC will collaborate with other Adobe Creative
Campuses, sharing ideas and innovations to expand digital literacy
and help ensure student success.
“A personal brand is the business card of the 21st century,”
explains Michael Hageloh, IRSC executive vice president of Strategic
Initiatives. “From cosmetology to nursing, from business
to the sciences, building a personal brand is essential in today’s
working world.
“Pairing Adobe’s Creative Campus offering with our existing Microsoft
licensing gives IRSC students the ultimate brand-building
career toolkit,” Hageloh continues. “And, IRSC is the first college
anywhere to deploy such a comprehensive toolkit across the
entire institution to all programs, students, and employees, with
no cost or fees.”
