On Monday, September 19, Adobe Creative Cloud will launch on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus. Creative Cloud will be available for free to all students and 2,000 instructional faculty and staff. In support of the initial launch, ITS has an extensive communications and outreach plan. Additionally, we are making materials available to campus IT partners who wish to assist in promoting this great new resource to students.
