About RIAAO

The Rhode Island Association of Admission Officers (RIAAO), established in 1976, is a professional organization for college and university admission personnel who represent institutions within the state. Annually, RIAAO organizes a national level college fair for students seeking higher education, awards scholarships to individuals attending a RIAAO member institution, and hosts a guidance counselor tour to showcase our affiliated schools.  

RIAAO would like to express sincere thanks to the dedicated leaders that have helped to shape the organization over the years.  Our Past Presidents have demonstrated their commitment to the mission of the organization and to the profession of higher education; their efforts truly have been appreciated.
