Ahoy me fellow GACRAOans!!!

Welcome to Savannah! The theme for this year's conference is "Working

Like a Pirate -Providing Inspiring Resources Actively Through Education".

During your time in Savannah you may hear your colleagues using such

phrases as Blimey!! or "Shiver me Timbers!!" Both are exclamations of

surprise or strong emotion and believe me we hope there will be a lot of

that.

Your President-Elect, Donna Webb, and her crew of Program

coordinators, have been busy putting together a motherload of sessions

that are sure to provide the insights and inspiration we have anticipated

throughout the year. Amy Clines, your Local Arrangements Committee

chair, and Megan Taylor, Chair of Hospitality and Entertainment, have

been scouting the historic district, gathering a host of local resources,

destinations and entertainment we know you will enjoy. They have

discovered the largest amount of booty and promise to share the loot.

Arr! You will not want to miss the big event at Savannah Smiles. There'll be no 'walking the plank' at this

conference, though I am sure many of us know someone who might just deserve such a fate. Instead, there

will be laughter, learning and leading. From the veterans who have been in strategic enrollment

management careers for years to those new professionals just stepping their toes in the water, we all have

experiences to share and insights to help inspire.

I want to remind you to support our partners by visiting their booths often throughout the conference.

Without their support we all would be "hanging the jib".

A special thanks to your Executive Committee members who have been hard at work making this ship ready

to set sail for Savannah. Along with those mentioned above, they include: Immediate Past-President, Scott

Argo, Treasurer, Selena Magnusson, Secretary and Newsletter Editor, David Jenkins, Vendor Coordinator,

Erika Underwood, Professional Access and Equity Chair, Kathlyn Burden, and Professional Development and

Midyear Workshop Chair, Natalie Knox. A special thanks to Dr. Nichole Kennedy for taking the helm of

GISEM.

Aye mateys, make this your best year ever by working like a PIRATE!!

Sincerely

Cindy Peterson, President

GACRAO President 2013-14

Presenter: Dr. Kimberly McElveen, Columbus State University John McElveen, Columbus State University

Thinking about you, what you are, and what you could be with targeted effort to expand your knowledge base and competencies, can be much more productive than focusing upon the perceived lack of opportunities for advancement. Does your institution “owe” you, or would it be better if the institution “values” you, and how can you tell the difference? What role do you, or more importantly should you, play in adding value to your position within your institution? What are the most important professional aspects and personal characteristics which make for a successful career by creating opportunities? Presented by a highly experienced enrollment manager and a senior director of student affairs with a background in corporate human resource management, this session is designed to provide a framework for self-analysis and planning for sustainable career advancement and satisfaction.

One of these steps was the formation of the Higher Education Funding Committee (HEFC). The HEFC was charged with examining how current funding formulas should be changed in order to improve higher education outcomes for the state. The commission’s recommendations focus on how to incentivize college completion through performance funding. Those recommendations as well as the implementation plan will be discussed during this session.

GET YER SEA LEGS READY….

Monday, October 27, 2014 6:30 PM – 10:30 PM

Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos We invite you to join us for an evening of dining and entertainment with your favorite

GACRAO colleagues. Monday evening will begin with dinner provided at the Historic

DeSoto Hilton. After dinner, we invite you to hop on the GACRAO trolley and join us

for an evening of interactive sing-a-long and entertainment at Savannah Smiles-

Dueling Pianos Saloon!

Savannah Smiles Dueling Pianos Saloon was opened in December 2000 and is located in the Historic District of

Downtown Savannah. At Savannah Smiles, you are sure to have a great time as you celebrate with other fun and

exciting Gacraoians.

What are dueling pianos? There are several different varieties. Typically, the dueling piano audience is used for the

dueling aspect of the show. Audience members are pitted one-side-against-the-other. Examples of rivalries include

country vs. rock, men against women, etc. This dueling piano interactive concept has grown rapidly the past few years

and shows no sign of letting-up. Why? One very simple reason: people love to interact and have fun. The show's focal

point is a pair of pianos on stage. The piano players act as "ring masters". Hand-picked from only the finest regional

talent, they're experts at keeping audience members involved, happy and content. Dueling piano shows often take

unexpected turns. Tangents may include involving wait staff members, changing song lyrics or roasting popular

audience members.

And who typically enjoys dueling pianos? There are no boundaries. Dueling pianos appeal to all ages, creeds and colors.

Dueling piano shows are the perfect entertainment for events as everyone is drawn together by the camaraderie &

nostalgia to form one large, synergistic party -swaying to the music and bellowing-out familiar lyrics. This concept

bases itself on the simple fact that everyone wants to have a good time. The Dueling Piano "experience" is not only

incredible fun, but also very unique. Guests aren't just entertained by the piano players - they become part of the

show!

COMPLIMENTARY TROLLEY SERVICE WILL BE OFFERED FROM 7:15 PM - 11:00 PM.

Stop 1: Historic DeSoto Hilton Stop 2: Savannah Smiles

Make sure to wear your GACRAO nametag for access to the Trolley

Social Media and Professionalism: How to Engage Students with the Right “Voice”


Presenter: C.J. Cypress, Young Harris College Rachel Smith, Brenau University

Utilizing Our Past to Recruit Our Future: How Admissions and Alumni Can Partner to Maximize Recruitment Efforts

Intended Audience: Admissions / Recruitment

Presenter: Crystal Edenfield, Jacksonville State University

An institution's alumni office can be an excellent resource when developing a recruitment strategy. From utilizing alumni that work in secondary school systems as a way to connect by presenting in their classrooms to working with alumni when planning and executing prospective student or admitted student receptions; alumni can support their institutions by assisting with recruitment efforts from the inquiry, applicant, admitted, and enrolled student levels. Alumni can also help an institution gain name recognition in areas that have untapped potential for growth. This presentation will be an interactive discussion about ways an institution can improve their partnership with alumni offices.

Tuition Classification for Dummies, or Why Do I Have to Pay Out-of-State Tuition?

Intended Audience: Admissions/Recruitment, Registration/Student Records

Presenter: Anthony Davis

We will look at the basic reasons as to why students are classified as Residents versus Non-Residents and how to handle Tuition Classification Questions while recruiting students to your respective institution. I want to gear it towards Admissions Counselors and Recruiters who don't normally handle Tuition Classification so that they will know how to answer general questions and how to deal with issues of Residency. In today's world, we recruit students from all backgrounds, whether they are from the U.S., immigrants, or non-resident aliens.
