"What Hast Thou Wrought...Lately?"
A Colloquium for Experienced Practitioners
Sunday, 12:30 – 1:30 pm

Michael Dooris, The Pennsylvania State University
Michelle Appel, University of Maryland
James Trainer, Villanova University

How can IR and planning offices continue to offer contributions valued by our stakeholders? In this colloquium geared especially to practitioners with at least five years of experience, participants can share thoughts on emerging topics and creative approaches (beyond the usual reports) that other veterans might find useful and interesting.

This colloquium follows on a first-time pilot session that was organized and offered at the Saratoga Springs conference in 2005. The basic idea was, and is, to provide something parallel to the NEAIR newcomers' workshop, but for people who've been around for a while. The colloquium will be a conversation among practitioners with at least five years of experience. Participants can share thoughts on emerging topics and creative approaches, beyond the usual reports, that other veterans might find useful and interesting. This year the colloquium will be held over the Sunday lunch hour so that participants can attend (or present) other Pre-Conference Workshops.

The session is free of charge; participants are welcome to bring their own lunch should they wish to do so.
