Editorial
Welcome to the October 2024 edition of The Institutional Researcher.
Dear newsletter readers
I’m writing this newsletter with some sadness. This will be my penultimate newsletter. After retiring in 2022 from Macquarie University, it’s difficult to monitor higher education news from home. Without the hands-on knowledge of being present in the higher education sector, it has been increasingly difficult to compose news on what is happening in the sector.
I am therefore reaching out to our AAIR audience to see if anyone is interested in taking over the newsletter. We aim to deliver 6–7 issues each year. If you are interested, please email editor@aair.org.au or info@aair.org.au.
I have attended over 25 forums across my university lifetime, but unfortunately, I deeply regret that I will not be attending this year’s AAIR Forum. The AAIR Forum is a wonderful experience to attend, and I have made many friends, which I truly cherish.
I’m also stepping down from the AAIR executive committee after 8 years. It’s time to give some fresh blood an opportunity to sit on the committee. I wish the new committee all the very best.
My final newsletter will be delivered in November 2024 😊
Do you have something you would like to share with your IR colleagues? Please send your contributions to editor@aair.org.au.
