Hi all!!
I know you are all anxiously awaiting the IPEDS submissions that start next week, and as such, you are frantically in the process of getting your data together (yeah, right..me neither!). But, if I could interrupt your busy day for a few minutes, I wanted to share with you the completed and official (well, as official as it gets!) agenda for the upcoming OAIRP Spring Conference. To refresh your collective memory, the OAIRP Spring Conference will be held Friday, March 16, 2001 in the Mooreland Conference Center on the campus of Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio. Remember to send your registration forms to Lee Mortimer soon if you have not yet already done so. Lee is sitting over there at WSU bored to death just waiting for something to do, so make sure you give him something to do! (Right, Lee? yeah, uh huh!) If you have not already checked them out (and even if you have!), here are the URLs for Lakeland Community College and Mooreland Conference Center. Be sure to look at the link for Mooreland. It's a truly beautiful setting for a conference. I am also listing the URL for the OAIRP Web site. On it under the "Events" link, you will find the registration form for the Spring Conference, hotel information, directions to Lakeland/Mooreland, and even the other two links I have listed below! A veritable cornucopia of useful and fascinating information! (Ok, I know...I need to get out more!)

And now, on to the agenda. In addition to having it here in this e-mail, I will ask Jie Wu, OAIRP Webmaster, (actually I'm asking her now!) to post it on the OAIRP Web site. Thanks, Jie!
