PROSERIS FOR UNIVERSITIES
Quantify your university’s economic and community impact.
Operations, students, research, and events all move money through the regional economy. PROSERIS measures how much, year by year and sector by sector, on the same REMI PI+ engine behind REMI’s published impact studies — and returns the charts and tables an impact report needs.
How universities use PROSERIS
Four analyses the platform is built for. All four run through the same guided setup and return the same set of deliverables.
University economic impact studies
Measure how operations, students, and events drive the local and regional economy. Model the ripple effects of student and visitor spending, faculty and staff employment, capital investment, and research activity, and assess the full footprint across sectors such as housing, retail, transportation, and services.
Why PROSERIS helpsA guided setup walks you through the data inputs, so input-output modeling comes back as charts and tables you can build on when making the case to policymakers, alumni, and community partners.
Campus and community development
Evaluate how major campus projects — new facilities, research parks, housing expansions — affect regional growth. Model workforce impacts, estimate the state and local revenue that follows, and forecast the local business activity tied to a university investment, broken out by industry.
Why PROSERIS helpsMultiple what-if scenarios run in minutes, so alternative investment strategies can be compared on long-term outcomes rather than argued from a single case.
Students, athletics, and events
Quantify what student populations, athletic programs, and major events such as conferences or tournaments contribute. Estimate visitor spending, employment effects, and multiplier impacts to show the university's economic role across the whole year, not just the terms.
Why PROSERIS helpsIt cuts the work of gathering and analyzing spending data, which is usually where this kind of study stalls, and gives communications teams and administrators a measurable number to report.
Community engagement and policy collaboration
Work with local governments and regional organizations on shared economic questions. PROSERIS lets a university act as the data partner in community planning, workforce development, and regional recovery work.
Why PROSERIS helpsResults are legible to community stakeholders, which strengthens town-gown partnerships and evidences the university's role as an anchor institution.
