We had a blast at the AACRAO SEM Conference in Boston! Check out our favorite memories and relive the excitement in our mini photo blog:

Some AACRAO Photo Booth Fun

Interact’s photo booth, or “magic mirror,” was a big hit! Attendees were invited to enjoy taking selfies with fun cosplay props, accessories, and backgrounds during the welcome reception. Pictured above are our CEO, Dr. Diane Walleser; VP of Account Services, Lisa Kasper; and Chief Marketing and Growth Officer, Chelsey Bowers, having fun!

Who said you can’t do strategic enrollment management AND have a little fun? These are just a few of our participants who showed us their style at our magic mirror.

Party Like a Rockstar, Enroll Like a Beast

We really took our “Eye of the Tiger” theme and roared with it! Plus, we can’t resist sharing our fun, themed SEM video that added a little color to the conference monitors all weekend:

Boston Was Beautiful

Of course, we did take a little time to go sightseeing! Downtown Boston was just beautiful, and Lisa really captured our stellar surroundings in this next photo:

Purr-fect Presentations

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer weekend. Our CEO, Dr. Diane Walleser, presented a riveting success story with our partner, Bismarck State College. The session was “Reality Check to Record-Breaking Results,” showcasing how BSC faced down its enrollment challenges … then, put a plan in place, triggering a remarkable turnaround and record-breaking enrollments.

And later on, we had our “Eye of the Tiger” session on fierce strategies to future-proof your college. From anticipating enrollment trends, shifting the focus to nontraditional students, and covering onboarding hurdles, we helped our college partners refine their enrollment strategies for 2025.

See You Next Year!

We met a ton of passionate SEM professionals, and we came away super inspired. Now, we can’t wait for the next AACRAO SEM Conference. Let us know what your favorite conference memory was!
