Dear PAIS Community,

We’re very excited to bring you the latest PAIS Newsletter. As we find ourselves navigating through this academic year, we hope these articles will provide some useful insights for you, as they have for us.

We also hope you will attend the PAIS sessions our chairs have mentioned in their letter and also contribute an article on how you and your program or institution are meeting the current issues you face. Please keep in mind that we always welcome book reviews and nominations for our Meet the Member column.

It is pleasure to serve as your newsletter editors and contribute to the discussion of administrative issues in our field.

Warm regards,

Jacqueline Record and Hannaliisa Savolainen
