Adobe is committed to inspiring creativity for the next generation.
The Adobe Higher Education Faculty Community is a strategic network of faculty leaders driving measurable classroom integration, student activation, and institutional impact through Adobe tools.
Adobe Higher Education Community
The Adobe Higher Education Community is open to higher education faculty and staff across all regions and disciplines. No complex application process-- just a commitment to innovation, collaboration and, ultimately, student impact. Whether you’re just beginning to integrate Adobe tools or already leading creative pedagogy on your campus, you’re welcome here.
Creative fluency and AI literacy are critical workforce competencies. Through monthly programming, peer-led exchanges, product collaboration opportunities, and student spotlights, you'll gain both practical support and institutional visibility.
Plus: ➡️ Looking to deepen classroom integration or connect students to Ambassador and career pathways? The community provides structured support, visibility opportunities, and direct connection to Adobe teams. ⬅️
Support your students. Support your colleagues. Support yourself.
No two professional journeys look the same, and that’s the point. Some members are lecturers experimenting with new ways to increase student engagement. Others are department leads redesigning curriculum, researchers exploring AI in their discipline, or program directors shaping institutional strategy. Many are simply curious and looking to sharpen their practice and connect with forward-thinking colleagues. Wherever you are in your journey, the HED Faculty Community meets you there with:
- Adobe Education Leader membership- free and open to all
- Monthly meetings designed to inspire
- Resources you can use immediately
- A trusted space where you can exchange ideas and share outcomes
- A global network of faculty advancing pedagogy who are eager to connect with you
- Clear pathways to expand your influence
There is no single way to participate. Whether you engage lightly or step into visible leadership, you belong here.
