Monthly Coffee Chat & Afternoon Tea (virtual!) (November 17, 2026)

OAIRP Coffee Chats & Afternoon Tea

Grab your cup and join the conversation!

OAIRP hosts informal virtual gatherings throughout the year to give institutional research, planning, assessment, accreditation, and higher education professionals an easy way to connect with colleagues across Ohio.

There’s no formal presentation or agenda - just an open space to ask questions, exchange ideas, share what you’re working on, and learn from one another. Whether you’re an OAIRP member or simply interested in connecting with the community, you’re welcome to join us.

A Predictable Monthly Rhythm

We typically meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month, alternating between:

☀ ☕Coffee Chat	10:00 a.m. ET
☕ ☾ Afternoon Tea	4:00 p.m. ET

The alternating schedule gives colleagues a chance to participate at different points in the workday.

We take a break during OAIRP conference months (October & April) and in December, with occasional schedule adjustments around holidays.

No October gathering - we'll see you at the OAIRP Fall Conference!

What Should We Talk About?

These conversations are shaped by the people who join them. Bring a question, a challenge, an idea, a resource, or something you’ve been working through.

Have something you'd like the group to talk about? Post your question or topic in the OAIRP Forum ahead of time so colleagues can weigh in — and we may bring it into the next Coffee Chat or Afternoon Tea.

No need to submit something in advance to participate. Come when you can, stay as long as you can, and bring your cup.
