Lead AACRAO Programming via Professional Activity CommitteesAACRAO's Professional Activity Committees are member led programming and thought leadership committees committed to advancing knowledge and leadership within the registrar and enrollment management professions and among the AACRAO membership. Committee participation positions members as industry leaders, prepares members for advanced leadership positions within the association, and provides valuable professional development and networking opportunities.
Work At AACRAO Volunteer OpportunitiesAACRAO posts open volunteer positions throughout the year for a variety of projects in higher education. Topics these volunteer positions touch on include registration & records, admissions, enrollment management, transfer, international, community management, and more.
Join an AACRAO Caucus AACRAO Caucuses are peer network and affinity groups designed to promote diversity and equity among the AACRAO membership and within higher education. These member led groups promote best practices and identify strategies for success on campuses among their peer segments. Caucuses play a critical role in creating a sense of place for all AACRAO members and help to elevate all voices within the membership.
Programmatic Liaisons Serving as a programmatic liaison is another way to get involved with AACRAO. These vital member leaders help support AACRAO's mission and strategic plan. They work closely with AACRAO Staff to plan, coordinate, and execute projects and initiatives that are key to AACRAO’s success and ability to support other members.
Registrar and/or Admissions FacultyAACRAO online and in-person courses range from basic skills and knowledge in registrar or admissions functions to courses that help participants advance in their careers. Those selected receive a small honorarium per course section taught.
Submit a Topic IdeaAACRAO Collective Gathering registrants receive discussion topics in advance of each meeting. During each hour-long meeting, member moderators introduce the topics and foster an open space for discussion. Attendees have a chance to deep dive into each topic during break-out sessions, then return to the full group to share discussion insights.
Author Content Across AACRAO Publications AACRAO members are encouraged to contribute to the development of the profession by authoring AACRAO publications, from Connect articles, to submissions in the SEMQ and C&U Journals and the AACRAO International Publication, to complete book publications.
