Marshall University designated as West Virginia’s First Adobe Creative Campus ✨
Marshall University has been designated the first Adobe Creative Campus in West Virginia. This prestigious designation places Marshall at the forefront of innovation; as part of a select group of colleges and universities that have empowered students in all disciplines with the indispensable digital skills to succeed in the classroom and beyond. With access to Adobe creativity tools, students regardless of their field of study, can harness the power of Adobe to unleash their full potential. From creating captivating videos and immersive podcasts to designing stunning webpages and mastering the art of data visualization, our students are equipped with the tools to make their voices heard and their ideas shine. Students will learn to communicate more effectively, build their personal brands, prepare for the challenges of an increasingly digital world, and achieve their goals as students on campus and after graduation.
