Welcome to the Washington Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (WaACRAO) website.
Hello WaACRAO members,
Registration Now Open for Our 20th Anniversary Conference!
We’re excited to announce that registration is now open for the 20th Anniversary WaACRAO Conference! This year’s theme, Resilience, celebrates the strength, adaptability, and commitment that have carried our organization and our members through two decades of transformation in higher education. From navigating the sudden move to virtual conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic to meeting the ongoing challenges of shifting federal and local policy landscapes, resilience has been—and continues to be—a cornerstone of our success.
Join us on August 7, 2025 at UW Bothell as we reflect on the past, engage with the present, and look forward to a future where resilience remains essential in shaping the path ahead.
