The Maryland Association for Institutional Research is excited to announce the new 2024 Spring Symposium!
Traditionally, this time of the year we would be announcing the return of the MdAIR Spring Institute. As the needs of our membership haves changed, we seek to provide responsive programming for our members. As such, we are slightly changing our Spring format to provide opportunities to highlight the research, innovation, and best-practices that are happening at our member institutions, across the State and the surrounding areas. We are excited to announce the newly reimagined Spring Symposium.
This year's Symposium will take place on May 3, 2024 from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at Chesapeake College. The college is located at 1000 College Circle, Wye Mills, MD 21679. Additional details about location and parking will be provided closer to the event.
We are foregoing a specific theme this year in order to provide the opportunity for members to submit presentation proposals from a variety of areas of the work that we do, allowing for more innovation and engagement. We are still planning to provide many of the staples you know and love from the previous Spring Institutes, like the annual legislative update.
We will provide a final agenda as we develop the schedule of presentations closer to the event. Here is a preliminary agenda for the event:
8:00 am - Registration Opens
8:30 am - Breakfast served
9:00 am - Welcome and Introductions
9:10 am - Keynote and Plenary Session
10:00 am-12:00 pm - Presentations
12:00 pm - Lunch
1:15 pm-3:15 pm - Presentations
3:15 pm - Closing
We welcome all former, current, and prospective members to attend the event. Please note that the event is FREE for current members. For non-members, the event is $75, and that includes membership for the remainder of the year and free attendance to any summer events that may happen.
If you have any questions, please reach out to MarylandAIR01@gmail.com and a member of the Board will be happy to assist you with any comments or concerns that you might have. Please feel free to share this with any colleagues that you think might be interested.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the Spring Symposium!
