May/ June Message from the President
Good Day NACRAO nation!
As most of our member institutions have had their commencement ceremonies it is unofficially summer for us all. Rest assured that although this means family vacations, fun in the sun, and ice-cold beverages, your NACRAO committees and Board of Directors is still working hard for the memebership!
The end of April marked the 100th year celebration of AACRAO. We had 8 NACRAOians in attendance to represent our state down in New Orleans at the Annual Meeting. With belt-tightening budgets, and a slew of our state colleges and universities knee-deep in an SIS implementation, the low numbers were not surprising. No worries though; Central CC-Grand Island, Creighton, Metropolitan CC, UNL, and Midland held it down in the “Big Easy.”
As I mentioned, the machine that is NACRAO is chugging along quite nicely. The following events are sure to draw interest from the membership:
REGISTRAR’S DAY
Central Community College-Grand Island, June 22. Cost will be $25
Topics will include FERPA: What does it mean to our institutions? & A book discussion on John Kotter’s Our Iceberg is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions.
NEW COUNSELOR’S WORKSHOP
August 12 and 13 in Kearney.
The committee is working hard to ensure that a top notch event is in place to train our new admissions professionals (or maybe even refresh some of our wily veterans).
FALL CONFERENCE
Mark your calendars now to make the trek to North Platte for some “train”ing in professional development. The 2010 NACRAO Fall conference is November 10, 11, & 12, you don’t want to miss out!
Please visit our website nacrao.org regularly for further details involving these and other NACRAO events.
Enjoy the “down time” over the summer,
Jason J. Blohm, MPA
President, Nebraska Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers
