OACRAO Summer Institute

OACRAO Summer Institute 2026 is in the books!
Nineteen higher education professionals came together for the OACRAO Summer Institute at Salt Fork Lodge and Conference Center, July 29-31. Over the course of three days, attendees had the opportunity to learn from one another, share ideas and best practices, build new connections, and strengthen their professional networks. From engaging sessions to meaningful conversations, the institute provided valuable resources and practical ideas that attendees can take back to their campuses. The willingness to collaborate, share experiences, and support one another is what continues to make the Summer Institute such a rewarding experience. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Summer Institute a success. We look forward to seeing how the ideas, connections, and resources gained at OSI continue to make an impact throughout the year.

OACRAO Summer Institute

This workshop is open to all members, as the focus is on growing in leadership and strengthening our professional practice across the division. While it is especially beneficial for those newer to the profession, it is designed to provide meaningful value to staff all experience levels.

The workshop offers an affordable and accessible professional development opportunity for individuals who may not be able to attend out-of-state training. Current and past Board members will provide meaning instruction and share practice insights. Participants will also have opportunities to build informal connections in a relaxed and engaging environment.
