For Those Who Strive.
Colleges and universities are facing tough times. Not enough quality applicants. Cuts to funding. Adapting curriculum to meet a rapidly changing world. Edinboro University was facing all those challenges head on. They needed to find a way to appeal to the students that best fit what they had to offer.
BD&E’s research found that there’s a certain trait that defines the entire Edinboro community. And that’s grit. It’s a place for those willing to work, those willing to go the extra mile. It’s a place For Those Who Strive.
It’s a bold message. One that speaks to the type of student Edinboro wants.
