Welcome to the September/October 2021 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

Dear newsletter readers

My sincere apologies for delivering this issue so late. There have been so many changes taking place in my work and life over the last few months. Not all these changes were positive, and some put me in doubt and distress. Now looking back, I can say that each change has led me to the next step and the place where I am now. Our Immediate Past President, Kathie Rabel, and our current President, Stuart Terry, as well as other AAIR Committee members, provided tremendous support and encouragement to me during this major transition phase. I would not have made it through without the love from my parents in China, calls, and messages from friends on both sides of Tasman. A huge thank you also goes to my mentor, Dr Jason Mazanov at ANU, who guided me and walked with me through this rollercoaster journey.

No matter where you stand or what you go through in your life, Kia Kaha! Stay Strong!
