COLLABORATE AND SHARE
For the first time, KACRAO is combining the Registrar’s and New Admissions Professionals Workshops into a Pre-Conference Workshop. This pre-conference workshop is an opportunity for Registrar and Admissions professionals to connect with other members to share ideas, best practices, and attend some informational sessions. Sessions are facilitated by experienced members of the profession and participants are able to compare notes on a wide range of topics of common interest and create a helpful network of colleagues at other institutions.
