Lunch will be provided. Please sign-up for the workshop by selecting the MAIR 2015 Newcomer’s Workshop on the registration form. There will be a $15 fee for this additional workshop.
This workshop is designed for practitioners who are new to the field of institutional research and institutional effectiveness. With a combination of facilitated lecture/discussion and hands-on exercises, the workshop will address the issues such as the definition of Institutional Research and how Institutional Research/Institutional Effectiveness offices work, identifying data sources and collecting data, developing factbooks and peer comparisons, completing effective reports or presentations in a timely manner, and the role of Institutional Research/Institutional Effectiveness in accountability/accreditation. Participants need to bring laptop for the hands-on exercises.
