  • Interaction with Professional Organizations: Members of the Office for Institutional Research attended the South Carolina Association for Institutional Research conference in Greenville, SC on January 28th and 29th. Three presentations were given by the Clemson attendees. Ronnie Chrestman and Nancy James presented a Newcomer’s session entitled “Survival Skills for Institutional Research” specifically aimed at providing support and guidance to professionals new to the field. Melissa Welborn then followed that session with “Instructional Faculty: IPEDS and Beyond” which was well received and informative. The third presentation was “Clemson University’s Interactive Fact Book” presented by Juan Xu, Melissa Welborn and Ronnie Chrestman with input from Joe McLaughlin.

Holly says “I’m still on a steep learning curve, but I’m excited for the opportunities this presents to me!”
