Assistant Provost and University Registrar, Northwestern University

aci Casazza, M.A., is Northwestern University’s Assistant Provost and University Registrar.  Casazza has served in similar roles at decentralized, research-intensive universities for more than 20 years and is an active member of AACRAO and the AAU registrar’s board of directors. Under her leadership, the Northwestern registrars’ offices have become a network of trusted campus partners, developing the deep institutional collaborations necessary to solve student and faculty problems and facilitate change. Casazza earned a B.A. in English as a first-generation, lower-income college student, an experience that inspires her work on college affordability, access, and inclusion beyond the point of admission. She and her teams strive to identify and remove institutional barriers impeding the success of all students, particularly those for whom university life is new or traditionally unwelcoming.
