How does it differ from the rank of Instructor at your institution? Do you have people teaching at the college level with bachelors degrees only? If so, at what rank? How do you justify this practice with accreditors? Thanks for your kind assistance. Have a happy day! Calvin H.

Message-ID: <72427BB707C2F444BC19A99299D386518FE0EC2E@MBXsvr1.occc.edu> Notes from the Board: Hello fellow OK-AIR members, Welcome to another start of the academic year! Each year seems to just go by faster and faster. The board would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Spring 2014 OK-AIR conference held at The University of Oklahoma. Our attendees, keynote speaker, presenters and conference hosts deserve a big thank you. We had over 60 in attendance last spring, as well as some great presentations and discussions. Overall, it was the highest reviewed conference in years. The conference this fall will be hosted by Oklahoma State University - OKC on Friday, October 24th. Details on the conference are now available at OK-AIR.org. Please note we have phased out our old website, so please bookmark the current link. For those newcomers or others wanting to get back into the conference spirit, OKAIR conferences are great opportunities for networking as well as professional development and for this fall, a chance to win several gift card giveaways! We like to keep a friendly and informal tone at the conferences, and all those old and new alike are welcome to be a part of our informative and fun group. - Matthew Eastwood Call for Proposals: We need your help! The Oklahoma Association for Institutional Research (OK-AIR) invites interested parties to submit one or more proposals for presentation at the Fall 2014 Conference.

The board hopes to have as many breakout sessions and options for attendees as possible. So any submitted proposal will be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to submit a proposal on any topic that would be of interest to higher education professionals working in research, assessment, planning or any of the wide variety of functions that our attendees have gained experience. We are a small and informal group of academic professionals and can gain much from each other's perspectives. Presentations need not be presentation style only as well.
