Life as Registrar can be busy. Most days are spent working with staff on the regular tasks at hand, but some days have me switching between many different hats. As you can see from a recent day, I switch between Registrar, College Board liaison, College community representative, College spokesperson, Registrar, College working group committee member, and back to College Board liaison.
Take a look at a day in my life as Registrar:
