The Adobe Faculty Fellows program supports participating faculty with grants to alter existing assignments or create new assignments that require the use of Adobe Creative Cloud applications like Illustrator, XD, InDesign, Premiere Pro or Premiere Rush to foster creativity across the curriculum. In the final semester of the grant program, four faculty members were awarded grants to introduce Adobe CC tools in their courses. A total of 17 grants have been awarded over the course of 4 semesters.
