About MACRAOThe Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers is a nonprofit association of institutions of higher education. We provide opportunities for the exchange of information, networking, and professional development concerning issues of common interest in the areas of registration, record keeping, admissions, and enrollment management.
MACRAO Annual Conference 2020When the Conference Planning Committee chose "Looking to the Future" as the theme of the 2020 Conference, we had no idea what was about to happen this year! But the theme is perhaps even more appropriate as we approach the end of a momentous year, in both higher education and in our everyday lives. The 2020 Conference will be held completely online. Each session "slot" will have a mix of virtual sessions led by MACRAO members and others who are experienced in the subject matter being presented. In that way, this year's virtual conference won't seem that different other than the way it's being delivered. A big difference, though, will be that you can choose which "slots" you are available to attend (and are interested in, of course!). Unlike being at the conference in person, we all have daily commitments that might prevent attending everything... so feel free to drop in when you're available. There is no cost to attend this year's conference. We are asking that you pre-register, however, so we have an idea of how many people will be attending. If you currently have a username and password for the website, please visit the 2020 MACRAO Conference page and then click on the registration button. If you don't have a login yet, contact your institution's MACRAO Key Contact and ask them to add you to the list of members from your college or university. Then log in and register! We look forward to "seeing" you at the 2020 Conference! SponsorsWe thank our sponsors for their commitment to MACRAO, especially during these uniquely challenging times!
