A SUCCESSFUL EDUCATION TODAY MEANS PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS THAT DON’T YET EXIST.

“Empowering students to communicate effectively in a business environment is a critical component of digital literacy."

Jim Bottom, Former CIO & Vice Provost for Computing & Information Technology, Clemson University

The ability to create more effective storytelling gains recognition and credibility in a global marketplace. It is so critical to develop that Digital Profile/Persona and to start the process early.

“I’m constantly telling my students that they can use their storytelling and digital media skills in every profession, whether it’s politics, media, law, marketing, or a job that hasn’t been created yet.”

Dr. Imani Cheers, School of Media & Public Affairs, George Washington University

Where does Adobe Fit?

"The main thing that I've learned at Clemson, working with Adobe Creative Cloud, is the true meaning of creativity. I certainly never considered myself to be a creative. Having these tools really made a difference for me."

Leah Anna Cardwell, Professional Communications Graduate, Clemson University

Clemson University Student Portfolio

As part of an ongoing - and growing - digital initiative, Clemson University is publishing multi-disciplinary bodies of work from Clemson students, using Adobe Portfolio. This extends to a global scale, not only the Clemson brand, but the personal brand of each student involved.

Emily Schlangen - University of Wisconsin

Emily Schlangan (B.S. Retail and Consumer Behavior) from University of Wisconsin: Her knowledge of Creative Cloud got her a position with Kohl’s in NY - a higher level position than the one that they initially offered her in Milwaukee.

U of W - Madison - Shark Tank

Consumer Strategy and Evaluation students participated in a shark tank opportunity with the potential to be invested in should their concept be approved.
Their idea: create a mobile app that traced wait times and crowdedness at local Madison restaurants.
Initially, they hand-rendered the mobile app screens on paper and in this first presentation, they were denied an investment.
Second attempt, for their final executive presentation, students built and presented their app using Adobe prototyping tools and were offered $100,000 investment.

This shows the effectiveness Creative Cloud has in showing a tangible digital prototype for how a mobile app would work effectively. The idea was more sought after. To be able to actually develop a prototype and not a paper sketch exemplifies the use that students can have through student licensing with Adobe Creative Cloud.

Personal Brand is Critical

"You need to have so much optimism and excitement about your brand that it pulls in everyone around you."

Amy Levin Klein, College Fashionista

The Future is Coming

Will they be coming to you?

"Creative problem solving is the way of the future."
