"#airforum is over for 2025 and looking forward already to 2026! Fantastic closing session filled with important information about today’s higher education climate. What did we learn from our panel? That what we don’t know is a troubling and significant issue but what we do know is this: We are a strong #datacommunity of caring and resourceful professionals with the support of an incredible association at our backs - and with our voices, we can help our institutions create collaborative relationships and new strategies to support our colleagues and students. See you in 2026! #data #irprofessional #ieprofessional #datamakesadifference #changeagentsforgood"

"My first #AIRForum has come to an end and I had such a wonderful experience! I am leaving feeling inspired and ready to take so many theories back into practice at Montgomery County Community College. Being able to connect with other #InstitutionalResearch professionals and learning more about their work has been so insightful and motivational. I am eager to apply so much of what I’ve learned including data governance guidelines, data literacy tools, and best practices for applying AI. Until next time #AIRForum!"

"I’m going to be brutally honest. There were some great speakers talking about important things at the #AIRForum this year. Congratulations to them all and thanks for your hard work to bring new ideas and inspire conversation! And thanks so much to all the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) staff who do so much (visible and invisible) to make this happen for the members!"

"Through a grant from the Robert E. Meyerhoff Foundation to support my research interests at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) I am wrapping up my time at the AIR Forum. Always was cool to be a quant data geek, and even cooler to be among other professionals with the same interests. Would recommend attendance by any Institutional Research professional, or interested faculty, such as myself. Next year...Washington, DC. #AIRforum #CCBC #Institutionalresearch #MeyerhoffScholarM3"

"Grateful for the opportunity to attend the 2025 AIR Forum in Orlando, Florida — an incredible gathering of institutional researchers, data leaders, and changemakers from across the country. As today marks the final day of this year’s conference, I’m reflecting on how valuable this experience has been. From diving into student success metrics and predictive analytics to exploring AI governance, privacy, and innovative dashboard design, every session offered practical insights I’m excited to bring back to my work. What stood out most was the collaborative spirit — the shared drive to transform higher education through thoughtful, ethical, and actionable data. It’s inspiring to see how institutions are building data cultures that prioritize impact over volume, and storytelling over spreadsheets. Thank you to the Association for Institutional Research for curating such a meaningful experience. Here’s to applying what we’ve learned and continuing the momentum beyond this forum! #AIRForum #AIRForum2025 #InstitutionalResearch #HigherEdData #DataForGood"
