Spring into ICPSR for a Bit!

Spring has arrived in Ann Arbor. As the trees begin to flaunt their green
across the horizon, ICPSR too, blossoms with many bits and bytes to share!

Margaret Levenstein Named Director of ICPSR

Margaret Levenstein has been appointed the director of the ICPSR. The
announcement
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/support/announcements/2016/04/margaret-levenstein-named-director-of>
followed a national search by a joint committee composed of ISR faculty and
members of the ICPSR Governing Council, who represent the consortium's 760
members worldwide. Levenstein will be the ICPSR's first female director.
She will begin her five-year term on July 1.

Think Spring - Plan for Fall Save the Date -
ICPSR's Data Fair to run September 26-29!

With new leadership, new data infrastructure, a new website in development,
and the continuous evolution of data sharing, this data fair will focus its
session content on the thrill of change, and put you at ease in managing
it! You are invited to join ICPSR from the comfort of your desk as we
broadcast 3-4 webinars each day. More information, session abstracts, and
session registrations will be available this summer. All webinars are free
and open to the public.

A Refreshed Website for the NCAA Student-Athlete Experiences Data Archive

The National Collegiate Athletic Association collects a wealth of data from
its member institutions and their student-athletes. These data are
collected to help answer research questions posed by college presidents,
athletics personnel, faculty, student-athlete groups, the media,
researchers and others in the higher education community and to assist in
the development of national athletics policies. Jump in to the archive here!
