The Oklahoma Association for Institutional Research and Planning (OKAIRP)
invites interested parties to submit one or more proposals for presentation
at the Fall 2006 Conference. The major theme for this Fall conference will
be "Best Practices in Research Methodology." Topics should highlight
good design, administration, and/or analysis techniques using available
research, planning and/or assessment tools. We are fortunate to have Dr.
Linda Mallory, Director of IR at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland,
as our keynote speaker for this conference. Her topic will include the
impact of IR in college decision-making. Dr. Mallory will also conduct
an "Introduction to IR" as our pre-conference workshop.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="Arial">
While the major theme is centered on research methods, please do not hesitate
to submit a proposal on any topic that you think would be of interest to
higher education professionals working in institutional research, planning,
or assessment. The time allotted for each presentation should be approximately
45 minutes. Proposals are due by Friday, September 1, 2006. To submit a
proposal, send the title and a 100-word abstract through email to Paul
Johnson at the contact address below.</font>

go out the second week of September. I look forward to seeing you
all in November!!!</font>
