Thank you to , , and for today’s CSUMAX event!

CSU students, faculty, and staff were invited to the one day conference (for free!) hosted at Cal State Northridge. Panels included discussions about where we’re at with AI in design and entertainment, Adobe’s current and upcoming AI features, AI ethics, and more. Students also had the opportunity to showcase their work, learn about Adobe Creative Apprenticeships, and meet other CSU students as well as creatives from Adobe.

Shout out to the VCD students pictured above who got together to organize carpools to the event! You all rock!
