BYU to be first university to benefit from benefactor program

WAKEFIELD, Mass. – August 1, 2018 – Adobe is taking the lead in being the first Digital Analytics Association (DAA) corporate member to sponsor a university with a full membership in DAA.

Adobe is sponsoring Brigham Young University, providing DAA membership to all interested students, faculty and staff at BYU. BYU members will have full access to all DAA educational events, networking opportunities, and industry resources. The sponsorship also provides Adobe with an opportunity to present to students at BYU once a semester.
