At every university, there are names that don't appear in advertising campaigns, but without whom there would be no academic future. People who aren't front and center at graduation ceremonies, but who sustain the present and shape what's to come.
Because today, in the midst of an era of digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and constant change, universities cannot remain the same. And the heart of that transformation lies in their academic portfolio.
Not only in what you teach, but in how , to whom , at what pace , and for what purpose .
The academic offering is much more than a list of majors or programs. It is the living promise of a university that aims to continue making sense.
And those who sustain it—those who care for it, challenge it, and reinvent it—are, for us, the true heroes of higher education.
They are the people behind the design, updating, and expansion of academic programs. They are the ones who connect the pedagogical with the strategic. They are the ones who transform ideas into real learning paths.
And they often do so in silence, with limited budgets, slow structures, and a lot of responsibility on their shoulders.
These are some of their most common roles:
It doesn't matter what the title is. What they have in common is this: They're holding together the living core of the university.
Because the context has changed. And with it, what a university needs to remain relevant has also changed.
Today, updating your academic portfolio is neither a luxury nor a long-term project. It's a strategic necessity.
In this new environment, those leading the creation, updating, and redesign of programs are not just doing their job. They are defining the future of their universities.
Because they are the ones who ensure that the academic offerings stay ahead of the curve. That they evolve with the world. That they respond to what students need today and prepare them for what will come tomorrow.
A university that does not update its portfolio loses relevance.
A university that updates it without a strategy wastes time, resources, and credibility.
But a university with leaders who promote a vibrant, flexible, and purposeful offering…
That is a university with a future.
Leading the evolution of an academic portfolio sounds inspiring. But in practice, it often means navigating complex challenges with very few resources.
These are some of the most common obstacles faced by academic leaders at universities across Latin America: Slow and bureaucratic processes : Changing a curriculum, launching a new program, or updating a training path can take months—even years—due to a lack of agility in approval processes.
And that's where the problem arises: people with vision, urgency, purpose... but without a strategic space to support them.
EduMakers is not a generic community or just another course. It's a strategic ecosystem designed exclusively for those who lead the academic growth of their universities.

This isn't a space open to everyone—and that's intentional.
We want to ensure that every person who joins finds real value and has an experience that speaks directly to their challenges. That's why we take great care with who we invite to be a part of it.
It's not about exclusivity, but about relevance: that the support, tools, and conversations we offer are truly aligned with what each leader needs today.
And if you'd like to chat to see if this space is right for you or your team, please email us at info@griky.co. We'd be happy to tell you more and support you through this process.
