Benefits of an Online Community

Online communities are great supplements to in-person communities. You can use the AACRAO Exchange to take advantage of your AACRAO member benefits, participate in important conversations about new developments in the field, and create connections with colleagues from around the world. 

All AACRAO members are encouraged to join the AACRAO Exchange today.

Inside the AACRAO Exchange, you’ll be able to: 

  • Participate in AACRAO Caucuses, PACs, and other special interest groups
  • Create new connections and connect with colleagues you’ve met at previous conferences and events
  • Ask questions of the experts
  • Brainstorm with peers
  • And much more...

The AACRAO Exchange is one of your member benefits and a space we created in response to ongoing member requests for access to other members outside of the AACRAO Annual Meeting and the Strategic Enrollment Management Conference. We hope you’ll log in, explore the space, ask questions, interact with colleagues, and drop us a message telling us what you like and what would make the community even better for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Google Groups/Listservs Transitioned to AACRAO Exchange in December 2023

    AACRAO transitioned from Google Groups to a new platform - the AACRAO Exchange. This platform provides a similar experience to our listservs plus additional functionality (file storage, links to needed resources, a member search, search by tags, etc).

    Google Group subscriptions were integrated into the AACRAO Exchange. Once logged in, navigate to Communities > My Communities in the navigation bar to access them. You can receive notifications of discussions in real-time or daily or weekly digests. Updating your “Discussion" notification settings to "real time" allows you to respond to conversations directly from your email.
