2018 AACRAO Technology & Transfer Conference

                 Dear Colleague,
WELCOME LETTER

                 On behalf of myself and the Technology & Transfer Conference Advisory Committee, welcome
                 to Minneapolis! We are thrilled to have a range of professions represented at the conference—
                 admissions, registrar, retention, IT, enrollment management, transfer center, and financial aid—all
                 engaged in the many facets of student services technology and student transfer issues.
                 We have scheduled over 100 sessions, as well as preconference workshops, roundtables,
                 and networking events to give you a personalized experience. For the second year, we have
                 identified sessions for our Innovation Hub, which identifies and highlights emerging technologies
                 and innovative solutions that will help institutions improve services for students and facilitate
                 student success. Topics identified for the Innovation Hub are labeled in the program.
                 Our programming will keep you busy during the day, however, be sure to take time to explore.
                 Minneapolis is unlike any other city—with its chain of lakes, as well as 200 miles of walking,
                 biking, and cross country ski trails within the city limits. Also known for a vibrant arts and music
                 scene that rivals New York City, as well as the best shopping in the region and world-class
                 museums, Minneapolis offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication.
                 If you are looking to improve your transfer practices, or if you apply technology to your work as a
                 higher education professional, the AACRAO Technology & Transfer Conference is your one-stop
                 resource. So, whether you have responsibilities in one area or both, we’re pleased that you’re
                 here to have fun, network, and learn!
                 We truly hope the 2018 AACRAO Technology & Transfer Conference meets your personal and
                 professional expectations.
