Annual Meeting

Each year WACRAO hosts an annual meeting where admissions, registrar, and other professionals gather to discuss hot topics within higher education. This conference includes amazing opening and closing sessions for all attendees, as well as several breakout sessions and roundtables that pertain to specific audiences and areas of interest. This meeting is an opportunity to gather together, discuss, and engage in the ever-changing landscape. Everyone at their own institutions faces their own unique challenges, and by attending this annual meeting we can gather together to brainstorm and help one another work towards solutions.
