New for 2012

This year we have added new events and adjusted the schedule to make participation in the Forum an even more outstanding professional experience.

Arrive by Noon Sunday

Forum registration opens at noon. The afternoon includes new educational events to kick off the Forum. Arrive by noon to take advantage of all the new Sunday educational events, or come earlier to participate in Pre-conference workshops.

Sunday Schedule

Sunday afternoon educational events (3:30 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.) provide a rich variety of focused topics in areas of interest to AIR members including examining international issues, new reporting requirements, and the latest issues in assessment and IR.

• Focus Session 1: Gainful Employment Reporting
• Focus Session 2: Large Scale Surveys
• Focus Session 3: IR International Caucus

Regional Affiliated Organizations meetings will facilitate networking and discussions of regional IR issues. Dinner groups will provide opportunities to keep the conversation going while exploring New Orleans cuisine.

Monday Schedule

A Plenary Session and Breakfast starts the day on Monday. Enjoy a full breakfast (included in your registration) and keynote by Dr. Jane Wellman, known for fearlessly using data to bust myths about higher education policy issues. Plan to sit with old friends or use this time to make new ones. Food, conversation, and inspiration launch the first full day of the Forum.

Wednesday Schedule

Closing Brunch will be served at 10:00 a.m. (included in your registration). The Forum will officially close at noon to allow travel time for return flights. Stay until noon Wednesday to take advantage of all the Forum has to offer – or take advantage of AIR’s special group rate at the hotel to stay on for a well-earned vacation.
