Editorial

Welcome to the September 2020 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

Dear All

I am writing this editorial when there are 100 days left in 2020. Like many of you, I feel shocked and somehow confused by how this year has passed by!

While I took some time off last month, I often pondered on what I had achieved. Have I done enough? If not, what else I could do? To be honest, I did not have a clear answer to any of these questions.

During the AAIR Executive Committee meeting last month, several committee members shared similar feelings. I particularly liked the wisdom shared by Lisa Bolton:

‘Let’s admit that we might not have achieved everything as we planned at the beginning of this year, but we have done what we could, coping with constant changes and uncertainty, supporting our families, friends, and colleagues.’

Let’s walk every day with pride!
