Dear #AcademicBluesky,

Please be kind to your institutional research staff (and, depending on your institution's interpretation of NASFAA guidance, your financial aid analysts). The struggle is real.

Sincerely,

Every exausted and stressed IR person across the country

Hey there #IRWatercooler and #HigherEdData peeps - if you haven't heard about the changes to AP svores (or haven't noticed it in your data yet)...

Data as a people connection. Thinking about meaningful ways to intentionally include others on campus. Both those who get data into systems and those who could include it in decision making.

Ok, #HigherEd and #IRWatercooler peeps - who has started the task of composing feedback on the Carnegie SEM classification? I personally am hoping for a 3 × 3 matrix rather than a 2 × 2.

Front of classroom. Text on projected screen says "teaching equity with spatial thinking and GIS"

Data and mapping (GIS). This resonated as a data pro: data quality, use, and equity.
Inspiring things happening here at MCC.

In these days of increasing spam / scam, does it make sense to include "gift card" in email subject for survey mailing?

My gut says no, wondering what others recommend.
