Your proposal should pertain to one or more of the six following tracks:

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 addresses 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, these sessions will highlight best practices.

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.

The Institutional Research Track addresses the effective and efficient collection of data to inform college and university decisions. In addition to data collection, sessions may also address data analysis and 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 covers research and presentations which feature technology to facilitate our work. Sessions in this track demonstrate creative and innovative uses of information technology to support institutional research and effectiveness activities.
