Upcoming AIR/IPEDS Workshops
The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) announces several upcoming full-day workshops related to IPEDS. These face-to-face training sessions are geared toward IPEDS data providers and users and are taught by experienced practitioners from across the country. The workshops are co-hosted by AIR and other higher education organizations, with funding provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Participants may apply for travel assistance awards. For additional information and to apply to attend a workshop, please visit http://www.airweb.org/ipedsworkshops
NOTE: There is no fee to attend these IPEDS Workshops. You do NOT have to be a member of AIR or the co-sponsoring organization to attend an IPEDS workshop. You may attend an IPEDS workshop without paying the registration fee for the co-sponsoring meeting, if you will only be attending the workshop and not the meeting.
