Enriching Place and Purpose

Expertly linking place and purpose, Edulorics advises institutions in deciding which strategic investments to pursue, where to make them, how to fund them, and how to execute.

We remain partners through the life of each project tailored to each institution's needs and capacity.

Through a series of x-rays we identify latent physical, financial, and philanthropic capacity. Working with senior institutional leadership, we then create, cultivate, and implement actionable interventions at multiple scales, advancing mission in multiple ways including generating auxiliary revenue.

"There was, and is, a form of power that emerges from uniqueness... not the least of which is the uniqueness of a place. This form of power draws us toward the place and causes us to desire to be within... to be a part of it, to belong.

"When we are within that place we are protected by the spirit that radiates from its particular uniqueness... We are embraced by the spirit of the loric..."

Leveraging Place,

Advancing Purpose

At Edulorics, we help clients advance institutional mission by leveraging place always through the lens of purpose. Through a series of scans including underutilized physical assets, philanthropic positioning, academic and student life programming, surrounding market contexts, and institutional differentiation, we help identify, enhance and elevate the differentiating and unique characteristics of each institution. The 'loric' characteristics of a place, when mined and cultivated, insure richer experiences, increased resilience, and enhanced affinity for an institution and its community.
