Need a little longer to finish up your SAIR proposal? Granted. The new deadline for turning in proposals is June 9, 2005. Don't forget that this year you can submit your proposals online. (opens in new window)
Please submit a proposal pertaining to one or more of the six tracks that follow:
The Accreditation Track welcomes proposals that address the revised principles of accreditation adopted by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Our members will gain valuable insights into how your knowledge and expertise informs this important process of external peer review.
The Assessment Track welcomes proposals that address authentic approaches to evaluating administrative, support and learning outcomes. Whether reflecting upon insights gained from national surveys or highlighting improved learning outcomes based upon locally developed assessment measures, we want to learn from you about assessment.
The Community College Track is a burgeoning area of interest at SAIR. The size and diversity of the community college sector requires us to learn as much as we can about these institutions. If you have knowledge of or experience with community colleges, we welcome your proposal.
The Institutional Research Track welcomes proposals that address the effective and efficient collection of data to inform college and university decisions. In addition to data collection, proposals may also address data analysis and best practices for data dissemination to various stakeholders.
The Planning Track is the newest track at SAIR. Because thoughtful planning informs decisions, we welcome proposals that address how legitimate planning processes shape the agenda for your institution.
The Technology Track welcomes proposals that address the use of technology to facilitate our work. Sessions that demonstrate creative and innovate uses of multiple media will enable us to improve upon services to our own institutions.

Institutional Dashboards:
Currently I'm working on a research project that explores the range of approaches that institutions have been taking with regard to the creation and design of institutional dashboards. Thus, I am trying to collect as many examples of dashboards as possible. I'm particularly interested in critiquing the choice of indicators, examining whether peer and/or trend data are present and exploring the various formatting designs employed. If you have a dashboard that you are willing to share, please send it to Dawn.Terkla@tufts.edu or fax to 617-627-3993.
